RAAC Surveys
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight, precast material commonly used in construction from the 1950s to the 1980s. Despite its benefits, RAAC has shown potential for significant deterioration over time, which can compromise the integrity of buildings.
At Murphy Geospatial, we specialise in thorough RAAC surveys to identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring the integrity, safety and longevity of your structures.
Why RAAC Surveys Are Essential - Structural Safety and Compliance
RAAC planks, used extensively in roofs, floors, and walls within both public and private sectors, are prone to issues such as cracking and moisture ingress. Left unchecked, these problems have led to severe structural failures being reported. Our comprehensive RAAC surveys are designed to detect the early signs of degradation prior to structural compromise.
The RAAC Survey & Remediation Process
We begin with a detailed discussion to understand your building’s history, specific concerns, and requirements. Based on initial findings, we look to develop a tailored survey plan to address your unique needs. Our experts then perform a preliminary risk assessment to identify areas that require urgent attention.
The engineers first conduct a detailed visual inspection of RAAC planks to identify obvious signs of deterioration or deformation. Following this, using state-of-the-art technology, and non-destructive testing, we can detect hidden defects that are not visible to the naked eye.
We provide a comprehensive report that includes our findings, identifies high-risk areas, and provides commentary on the overall condition of the RAAC planks. By outlining necessary remedial actions and maintenance plans to address any identified issues, we offer continuous support to building owners throughout the remediation process.
With a network of offices and engineers across the UK and Ireland, we provide prompt and efficient tailored service wherever your property is located.
Protect your investment and ensure the safety of your building with our professional RAAC surveys. Contact Murphy Geospatial to schedule an inspection or learn more about our services.
