Original Note:
Significant foundations are required beneath the Eiffel tower to support the weight of the heavy structure. Without this the tower would not be able to stand. The weight of the iron used to construct it is around 7,000 metric tonnes. https://engineering.purdue.edu/MSE/aboutus/gotmaterials/Buildings/patel.html https://www.toureiffel.paris/en/news/history-and-culture/foundations-and-basements-eiffel-tower
