Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) has become one of the most challenging and emotive issues facing building owners and public authorities today, often prompting urgent, high-cost decisions made under intense pressure.
Clark Smith Partnership (CSP), has delivered what is now being recognised as a landmark example of evidence-based RAAC remediation at a Grade II-listed local authority headquarters.
The project demonstrates how rigorous science, calm decision-making, and collaborative delivery can challenge long-held assumptions around Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), while saving building owners millions of pounds and setting a new benchmark for sustainability and best practice across the UK.
Alongside Loughborough University — CSP has demonstrated that RAAC challenges can be addressed safely, intelligently, and sustainably. In doing so, the firm has not only safeguarded a vital civic building but has also set a new standard for RAAC management across the UK
