The goals and types of moving buildings. The need to move buildings can arise as a practical task for achieving the following goals: 1) the liberation of areas for new development, expanding city streets, expanding or redevelopment of the territory of industrial enterprises, freeing out of alienation for rail or other roads, etc. In all these cases, the task of moving is the preservation of the building instead of its demolition; 2) changes in the position of buildings in height, for example, in connection with a change in the profile of the street or to destroy the filling of the building with high waters or for the “increase” of the building from below; 3) straightening of uneven precipitation of the building; 4) an increase in the size of the building in plan by pushing its individual sections and the buildings between them of new.
