One of our first survey’s of the week to this listed property in the high street of Maidenhead, Windsor.
The brick tower is suffering from lintel failure and the flank elevation has bowed and cracked due to lateral movement following the demolition of the neighboring building.
Lintel Failure
The brick lintels will be reinforced using Twistfix helical bars and Twistfix 450mm CD dryfix pinning ties, the lateral movement will be stabilised using Twistfix lateral restraint ties install in to the existing parallel floor joists along the flank elevation.
Lateral Movement
Following the structural repairs the new development works will continue as planned, to find out how we can help with your building and structural repair needs contact our head office on 0333 444 0154 or email us enquiries@newmans.com
Another of today’s Structural Survey to investigate a bowing wall on this 1902 block of flats in Knowle, Bristol.
The bulge in the flank wall measures approximately 3.5 metres by 4.5 metres and is due to separation between the inner and outer leafs of masonry, after carrying out our comprehensive survey a solution was achieved using a combination of Twistfix helical bars, Twistfix delamination ties and lateral restraint ties together with deep bed grout injection and ‘re pointing eliminating the need to rebuild the flank elevation at a considerable cost.
