Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

“I’ve just seen a news article on RAAC, and I’m not sure what to do”

If you are a commercial building owner, headteacher of a school or the responsible person for building maintenance, we are here to help. Some owners are not sure what RAAC (Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) is, or whether it should be deemed an issue. Typical questions that come to mind include;

  • Why is RAAC suddenly in the news? 

  • What is the background and use of RAAC? 

  • Why is it relevant?

  • How can we identify RAAC? 

  • How do we manage it?

If the above questions have crossed your mind, do not worry. We have created a high-level guide to provide an overview of RAAC, its background and why it is relevant. 

The guide should not be used as an investigation tool, and professional advice should always be sought. If you are a commercial occupier who has questions as to whether you think RAAC is present in your building, feel free to download the guide and get in touch.
