The repairs and protection to the concrete were carried out using Fosroc HB25, a high build hand placed polymer modified mortar and Dekguard W, a water based acrylic copolymer white anti-carbonation coating.
The fibreboard spandrel panels below each window were cleaned, joints made good and sealed and finally coated in one of the school’s corporate colours.
Internal making good, redecoration of the openings and refitting of blinds was followed by school staff finishing with a deep clean internally and reinstatement of equipment ready for the next term to start in early September. The final scaffold was struck and the site cleared within 2 days of the start of new term as planned.
We were awarded contracts for the three remaining elevations in subsequent years with the major works carried out during the summer holidays. The works to the North Elevation was the most complex due to the requirement to bridge the scaffolding over low level buildings and provide propping within the building.
