Concrete repair programme

Estates are working alongside engineering and construction firm Mountain Earth to conduct hammer testing and repairs to areas of concrete on the exterior of buildings.

The team have worked closely with Leeds City Council’s Conservation Officer to make sure buildings where work is taking place are properly preserved.

New anti-carbonation coatings have been colour-matched to return the exterior of each building to how they first looked after opening.

Estates are working with the timetabling team to move classes most likely to be impacted by the work out of the buildings, reducing the impact on staff and students.

Works will be paused while exams are taking place.

Where possible, Mountain Earth is using elevating work platforms rather than erecting scaffolding when carrying out repairs to keep noise levels to a minimum.
