Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac) has been found in 35 schools, with inspections underway in other public buildings.
Public buildings in Scotland containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete pose an ‘immediate risk to safety’ to school pupils and hospital patients, a Scottish Government minister has said
Wellbeing Economy Secretary Neil Gray said investigations are under way to assess the scale of buildings in Scotland containing the collapse-risk concrete. Speaking on BBC Scotland’s The Sunday Show programme, Mr Gray said: “At the moment, there is no immediate risk to people using these buildings and that is why we continue to support our local authority partners, NHS boards and others, that have Raac in their buildings to ensure that remains the case, and if there are issues to be resolved, that mitigations are taken to ensure people’s safety.”
The concrete was used from the 1950s until the mid-1990s, with the Institute of Structural Engineers saying it will only need to be replaced if it is considered to be of poor condition and at high-risk of collapse.
