Tackling RAAC in the schools estate: Ensuring safe and sustainable learning environments

Available on-demand

Overview

The discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in many school buildings across the country last year has raised serious concerns about the safety and longevity of our educational infrastructure. RAAC, a lightweight concrete material widely used in post-war construction, has proven to be less durable than initially thought, leading to structural issues that pose significant risks. 

Join us for an in-depth webinar where we will explore the challenges and solutions related to addressing RAAC in the school estate.

Our experts will share insights into: 

  • Identifying RAAC in existing school buildings 
  • Assessing the level of risk and prioritising remediation government guidelines and funding opportunities for school renovation 
  • Case studies of successful RAAC mitigation projects 
  • Future-proofing school infrastructure to create safe, modern learning environments
