Case Study 1: The Science Museum - Wroughton
In January 2010 Churchills were awarded a contract to install a stainless steel mesh restraining system to contain and prevent spalling concrete from falling to ground that had begun to debond from the decaying reinforced concrete walls serving five large aircraft hangers.
The decision to install the stainless steel restraining system represented a viable and cost effective solution as oppose to the more costly alternative of repairing the concrete and installing an anti carbonation treatment system.
The contract was completed over a five month period with a four man team in attendance, access to all elevations of each hanger was provided by self propelled MEWP's and tower scaffolds.
