" #RAAC installed with a 30 year lifespan in schools: it was cheaper."

60s & 70s we set superstruture lifespan of circa 75 years on all institutional warrant applications.

Current closures/RAAC stripping out/replacement & or actual demolition & rebuild - is cheaper by what graft ridden measure?

LOP front page Jan 1975, headline: High Alumina Cement - we foot the bill

Interesting to note how some news stories keep recurring. This LOP front page from 50 years ago reports on the risk (and cost) of 'high alumina cement' in public buildings, with lots of similarities to the ongoing #RAAC concrete scandal today. And we're still expected to foot the bill.

🤔 Q: So what about those organisations who are renting out space within it❓

The building material RAAC was used in thousands of UK building projects.
In July 2018 a ceiling collapsed in a primary school. RAAC is now "life expired, liable to collapse.”

We can check for the presence of RAAC concrete.

Welsh Government to pay for all 'bubbly concrete' RAAC repairs in schools £2.56m will be used to cover the costs of remedial works to schools where reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) has been identified

To be clear, the aerated bubbles in 𝐑einforced 𝐀utoclaved 𝐀erated 𝐂oncrete, could be filled with moisture and cause it to sag; and importantly, according to experts, it can deteriorate over time and is susceptible to 𝐬𝐮𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞.' #RAAC
