A method for consolidating blocks of natural stone or recomposed material
includes placing the block on a platform over a liquid and gas impermeable
base sheet with spacers. Liquid and gas impermeable lateral sheets with
spacers are glued to the side walls and extend beyond the top of the
block. The block is inserted into an autoclave and a vacuum is applied. A
fluid resin is dripped on the top of the block to cover it and to flow
into the interstices between the block and the sheets. The vacuum is
removed from the autoclave so that the resin penetrates into fractures and
cavities in the block and the resin is allowed or induced to harden.
