How to use "Lowering" in context?
Lowering refers to the process of reducing the height of a building or structure. This can be accomplished through a variety of methods, including drilling and blasting, removal of excess soil, and installation of a underpinning system.
When lowering a building, it is important to keep in mind the structural integrity of the property. Failure to do so may result in the building collapsing, which could endanger the public. Additionally, proper lowering procedures can help prevent damage to infrastructure beneath the structure, such as roads and utilities.
There are a number of factors to consider when lowering a building, including the weather and the overall condition of the structure.
