Meticulously assess and address the presence of RAAC in your healthcare estate
A popular building material from the 1950s to the 1990s, Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) today poses a real danger to hospitals, GP surgeries and healthcare centres. Ensure the structural integrity and safety of your facilities – count on our methodical RAAC Surveys to locate any sign of this material, report back our findings and advise on steps to protect the future of your buildings.

- As a multi-service consultancy firm, we can also create cost plans, provide Tender Management and oversee the Project Management of any remediation works
Eliminate structural weakness, preserve your estate’s future
RAAC concrete is a lightweight, cheaper alternative to traditional concrete. It is highly susceptible to moisture damage and has a lifespan of just 30 years. Over 50 NHS hospitals have been found to contain this material, with more added to this list every year.
