What does a RAAC condition assessment cover in West Sussex?

It records the span, depth and bearing of each panel, its deflection and cracking, and any water damage or reinforcement corrosion, producing a graded schedule.

Can you assess RAAC condition in occupied West Sussex schools?

Yes. We work around the school day and around continuous public use, using roof-void access and out-of-hours visits where needed.

Why do bearings and water matter most for West Sussex RAAC?

Inadequate bearing leaves a panel vulnerable at its support, and repeated wetting corrodes the thin reinforcement and softens the material, a particular concern in the coastal towns. We measure both directly.

RAAC Condition Assessment in West Sussex

Where RAAC is confirmed in West Sussex buildings, a condition assessment grades how the panels are performing. RAACScan assesses RAAC across the county, recording deflection, cracking, bearings and water damage panel by panel. Every RAAC survey is carried out in line with the Institution of Structural Engineers' guidance on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

Grading RAAC condition across West Sussex

Condition varies widely across a roof, and the things that matter most are bearings and water. We measure bearing lengths, record deflection and cracking, and note water damage and reinforcement corrosion, building a schedule that feeds into a risk assessment and management plan, which the county’s confirmed schools need.
