RAAC – What it is and what it means

As schools prepared to reopen this September after the summer break, hundreds were informed that, due to the use of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in their buildings (and its current state and condition), this would not be the case and they would need to remain closed or find alternative accommodation until remedial works could be undertaken.  There are likely to be further closures in the future, as more schools are found to contain RAAC in need of urgent remedial works. It has recently become apparent that other buildings have been also affected by RAAC issues, for example court buildings and hospitals. This Insight takes a closer look at RAAC, why it has become an issue now and considers practical steps for those affected by RAAC.
