[Dozens of schools which
'could be at risk of collapsing' are 'told to be ready to shut down at short notice until they can be made safe' Hundreds of schools were built with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete] [Dozens of schools that could be at risk of collapsing have reportedly been told they could be forced to shut down at short notice if they are not made safe. Hundreds of schools across the country were built with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, known as RAAC, between the 1960s and 1990s, with the buildings having a life span of around 30 years. The risk of the 'crumbly' concrete, that has previously been likened to a 'chocolate Aero bar', has been known for five years now, after a primary school in Kent partially collapsed but now chaos could be caused for thousands of more youngsters] https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...tice-safe.html Put up Portakabins Last edited by arista; 01-09-2023 at 11:51 PM. |

At least No Children Died.
It is the Wrong time to close schools - just as they return. But it appears some roofs could crash down on children. Some Schools without this Dangerous (cheaper) Air filled Concrete will be open as usual. |

Sky had a ‘concrete specialist’ on earlier and he was demonstrating that it was the actual concrete at fault … he was digging into the questionable stuff with a special tool .. it looked like he was digging into the plaster they put on walls rather than rock hard concrete Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Ch4HDnews Live
reports well over 100 schools and worse the Government does not have a total, yet. Nick Gibb Education minister said a School had a RAAC roof collapse this summer in August, They have not been told which school. It will take until Mid-November to give schools Portakabins Last edited by arista; 01-09-2023 at 06:09 PM. |

Also on Ch4HDnews
Warren Thomas Concrete Expert at Henderson Thomas Associates He thinks the Government kept the truth secret. Buildings need urgent testing by Professionals. He even brought in real bits of RAAC Into the studio. Labour stated Nick Gibb was there in 2010 she said he cancelled the School Rebuild Program set up by New Labour Last edited by arista; 01-09-2023 at 06:25 PM. |
