Rectification works at Structure VB0008.

Works Undertaken:

The repair methodology was refined on-site to minimise demolition while improving structural performance.

• Removal of deteriorated mortar joints along the cracked/separated section
• Localised removal of two stones only where required to access internal defects
• Cleaning and preparation of existing stones and joint interfaces
• Installation of steel reinforcing bars within horizontal joints to improve tensile resistance and structural continuity
• Reinstatement of joints using non-shrink grout (Fosroc Conbextra GP)
• Packing and finishing of joints to ensure proper bonding and alignment

This method allowed strengthening of the wall while preserving the majority of the original structure.

Joint Sealing (Wall–Pavement Interface)

• Cleaning and preparation of joint interface
• Installation of compressible backing rod
• Application of flexible sealant (Fosroc Nitoseal SC600)

Final finishing to ensure weatherproofing and flexibility
