Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) poses significant risks in older buildings due to its reduced durability and potential for catastrophic failure, often caused by long-term exposure to moisture and environmental factors.
As this material was widely used in construction from the 1950s to the 1980s, many buildings with RAAC components now face critical safety issues. Ambrey Baker provides end-to-end RAAC remediation services, starting with thorough structural assessments to identify the extent of degradation and evaluate immediate and long-term risks.
Our RAAC remediation process is led by a team of experts with extensive experience in managing and mitigating structural risks. We offer detailed risk evaluations, tailored reinforcement solutions, and full material replacement where necessary. Adhering strictly to guidelines issued by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), our team ensures compliance and mitigates risks effectively.
By collaborating closely with engineers and building managers, we deliver solutions that minimise disruption, extend the lifespan of buildings, and maintain compliance with evolving health and safety regulations. This vital works can be performed safely in live operational settings, reducing downtime and maintaining business continuity.
