RAAC Surveys – Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Surveyors
RAAC Surveys are becoming increasingly important to ensure building safety and structural integrity. Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is commonly used in public sector buildings, such as schools and hospitals.
What is RAAC?
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight composite material composed of cement, sand, lime and water to form an environmentally friendly alternative building material.
Definition and composition of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is a highly durable, lightweight building material composed of cement, lime, water, and an aeration agent. This combination gives RAAC its bubbly characteristics, making it suitable for construction in schools, hospitals, public sector buildings, and more.
The aeration agent contributes to RAAC’s unique porous structure, adding insulation against sound and fire. Combined with a steel reinforcement bar embedded into the composition of RAAC planks or panels, it increases its strength, making it ideal for stairs and roof constructions.
Aside from its strength features, flexibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness are key advantages of using RAAC for any building project.
Importance of RAAC Surveys
Identifying and accurately assessing the presence of RAAC in buildings is essential for understanding and managing related risks. Learn more to discover how RAAC surveys help ensure safety.
