The Modern Day RAAC Crisis
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight
material that gained popularity in construction between the
1950s and 1980s.
It was thought RAAC was strong & sturdy…
…but it turns out the air bubbles inside it make it prone to
degradation.
When RAAC is compromised, buildings collapse.
The only solution was to spend millions to demolish & rebuild…
but not anymore!

Meet the Worlds First & Only Approved Solution to RAAC
FOR THE FIRST TIME WE CAN REPAIR RAAC CONCRETE STRUCTURES BACK TO 99% HEALTH
Patented Composite Technology
ReGrid (Reinforcement Grid) technology is an innovative solution for commercial and residential concrete structures.
Utilising an industry leading bonding process known as Adhesive Riveting Technology (ART), structural epoxy forms rivets in the open grid created by carbon fibre tows woven with Kevlar® cross threads.
This chemically bonds the product to the concrete structure.
The Fortress line of products have been both lab and the real-world tested to be the strongest and most reliable concrete reinforcement products on the market.
Introducing
Re-Grid Carbon Strips
At Structural Repairs, we have developed an innovative and effective solution to address the major issues associated with RAAC structures.
Our approach involves the use of re-grid carbon strips, which are anchored into the wall and then riveted across the span of the ceiling at spaced intervals.

The re-grid carbon strips offer several key benefits:
Corrosion Resistance:
Unlike steel reinforcement, carbon strips are not susceptible to corrosion, ensuring long-term durability of the repair solution.
Versatile Application:
The carbon strips provide additional tensile strength to the RAAC structure, helping to counteract the effects of cracking and spalling.
Enhanced Strength:
Our solution can be tailored to the specific needs of each RAAC structure, ensuring optimal results for every project.
Lightweight and Non-Invasive:
The re-grid carbon strips are lightweight and can be installed with minimal disruption to the existing structure, making the repair process efficient and cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions on RAAC concrete
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight precast concrete material made from a mixture of sand, cement, lime, and aluminum powder. Known for its insulating properties and used primarily in roofs and walls during the mid-20th century, RAAC has a long history in construction but has recently raised concerns about its structural integrity and durability.
Considering repairs is critical because RAAC can deteriorate over time, leading to potential safety risks, such as structural failures and moisture-related damage. Addressing these issues promptly can help ensure the safety of residents, protect property values, and comply with regulatory requirements.
RAAC repairs can address a variety of issues, including:
- Structural deterioration due to moisture ingress
- Cracking and spalling of panels or surfaces
- Corrosion of embedded reinforcement
- Asbestos concerns in older RAAC products
The repair process typically involves a thorough assessment of the RAAC structure, identifying any areas of concern. Following this, specialized techniques, such as using carbon strips or other reinforcement methods, are applied to restore strength and integrity. The process may also include moisture management strategies and surface treatments to prevent further deterioration.
Yes, when conducted by qualified professionals, RAAC repairs are safe and effective in restoring the structural integrity of affected areas. The techniques used, such as carbon strip reinforcement, have been proven to enhance strength while minimizing disruption to existing structures.
The duration of the repair process can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the specific methods used. However, most repairs can be completed relatively quickly, often within a few days, ensuring minimal disruption to the property.
Yes, after the repair process is complete, you will receive a detailed report summarising the work performed, the condition of the RAAC structure, and any recommendations for future maintenance or monitoring.
While many of the techniques used for RAAC repairs are specific to RAAC structures, some solutions can also be adapted for use with other types of concrete and lightweight building materials. It’s important to consult with a structural engineer or RAAC specialist for specific recommendations.
It is advisable to inspect your RAAC structure regularly, typically every one to two years, or more frequently if there are signs of deterioration, such as cracks or moisture issues. Regular inspections help ensure that any problems are identified early, allowing for timely repairs.
To schedule a consultation for RAAC repairs, you can contact us directly through our website or by phone. Our team will be happy to discuss your concerns, arrange a site visit, and provide expert advice on the appropriate repair solutions for your needs.
No, while both are lightweight materials, RAAC and breeze blocks (or concrete blocks) are not the same. Breeze blocks are typically made from a concrete mix that is denser and does not have the aerated properties that characterise RAAC.
