City Remedial contacted Resapol’s London technical team in March 2021 in order to support with supplying a solution for the reinstatement of reinforced concrete taking place on 120 Oxford Street, a major shopping destination in the West End of London. City Remedial were contracted to perform necessary repairs to the basement, under pavement and vaulted areas that run around the entire perimeter of the building, as well as through a restaurant situated behind it. The original material coating the walls had failed due to water ingress causing the concrete to spall and steels to corrode.
Following extensive consultations and site visits with City Remedial and the Fosroc technical team, Fosroc’s Renderoc HB45 was selected. Renderoc HB45 is a high performance, fibre reinforced medium density concrete reinstatement mortar that conforms to the requirements of BS EN 1504-3 Class R4. It is utilised for the reinstatement of reinforced concrete where low permeability characteristics are required and higher compressive strength is a consideration; these key characteristics made it the perfect product solution.
Resapol were consistently on hand throughout the project providing quick and reliable delivery of the product direct to site. The project is now nearing completion and Renderoc HB45 has performed extremely well, John Butcher the Director/surveyor at City Remedial had this to say on Resapol’s service:
“Resapol have given us a second to none supply and advice service throughout the whole of this project – deliveries have been prompt and have been on several occasions exemplary. We have phoned up on several occasions with an urgent need for material and have received the goods within a couple of hours – how often does that happen?!”
