During a phased two year project Charterbuild and Fastrack installed several thousand metres of HeliBar reinforcing bars above and below all affected windows.
This reinstated the lintels, performed general masonry crack stitching and created low level masonry beams which redistributed loads evenly across the structures and assisted the foundations.
The separated internal walls were reconnected to the external walls using long grouted CemTies, installed externally and hidden in the masonry.
The Helibeam System’s rapid, non-disruptive means of installation provided a major benefit to the main contractor’s conversion programme and met the requirements of English Heritage with a 10 year insurance-backed warranty being issued. |
