A Collaborative Effort with Truro Council and Wall Coatings Ltd. to Restore The Structural Integrity Of The Residential Houses

 

When Truro Council sought to address significant structural challenges in a series of seven houses, they turned to ASRS, partnering with Wall Coatings Ltd to deliver a robust solution. This large-scale project involved extensive repairs across multiple properties, showcasing our commitment to quality and efficiency.

 

The Challenge:

The seven houses in Truro were facing serious issues, including widespread cracking and wall tie failure. With the integrity of these homes at stake, it was essential to restore their structural stability while ensuring minimal disruption to the residents.

 

ASRS’s Comprehensive Structural Repair Strategy

In response to the council’s needs, we developed a comprehensive repair strategy that included:

 

  1. Masonry Reinforcement: We installed Helibar stainless steel reinforcing to effectively distribute structural loads and stabilise existing cracks across all elevations..
  2. Wall Tie Replacement: ASRS team conducted thorough surveys to identify failing wall ties, followed by the installation of new Helifix Dryfix wall ties to ensure secure connections between the external and internal masonry.
  3. Concrete and Crack Repair: We meticulously removed damaged concrete and applied high-performance Natcem 35 repair mortar. Additionally, we treated existing cracks with specialised thixotropic grout for long-lasting stability.

Impressive Scale and Efficient Execution

This large-scale structural repair project involved:

  • Treatment of multiple elevations across seven houses
  • Installation of hundreds of new wall ties and reinforcing bars
  • Successful completion of all repairs within the committed timeline, demonstrating our efficiency and dedication
  • Minimal disruption to residents despite the extensive nature of the work

By collaborating with Wall Coatings Ltd, ASRS ensured that the project met the high standards expected by Truro Council. Our combined efforts not only addressed immediate structural concerns but also fortified the entire group of houses against future deterioration.

At ASRS, we pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive structural repair solutions that stand the test of time. This project in Truro exemplifies our commitment to excellence and our ability to manage large-scale repairs effectively.
