| A three storey, brick built, Victorian semi-detached property was suffering from severe cracking to the front elevation after its drains had failed and caused subsidence below the front corner of the building. |
|
| After the drains had been repaired, PPP Ltd installed the Helibeam System to restore full structural integrity to the building. Pairs of HeliBars were bonded with HeliBond grout into channelled out mortar beds at three levels, two between the ground and first floor windows and one above the first floor window. These HeliBars, running the complete width of the front elevation and the entire length of the return wall, formed masonry beams to distribute the loads, provide horizontal restraint and tie the brickwork together. To stitch the crack next to the upper storey window, single HeliBars were installed at five levels and returned half a metre around the corner. To provide lateral restraint BowTies were driven into the floor joist ends between the two storeys and BowTie HDs into the sides of the ceiling joists. After repairing the crack itself and making good, there was little evidence of the fully concealed repairs. |
