A potentially dangerous concrete has been found in the gym at Castlehead High School in Paisley, it can be revealed.
Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete – a lightweight material that can be susceptible to failure when exposed to moisture – has been discovered at the Camphill facility.said none of its schools or early learning and childcare centres were found to contain this particular form of concrete.
Councillor Kenny MacLaren, who represents Paisley Northwest, said: “How worthwhile were the assurances given to us when we were told there was no problem with RAAC in schools?“Councillor Will Mylet and myself contacted the chief executive when the original assessment was made as councillors were informed after parents and press – this time they’ve informed us first to help answer any questions.
RAAC is less durable than traditional concrete and was used in the construction of some public buildings between the 1950s and 1990s. “However, during our follow-up inspections on October 16 and October 19, we identified the presence of RAAC limited to the school gym. “The school is safe for pupils and school staff, however, we have taken the decision to close the gym and immediately instruct remedial works.
“This update confirmed the school is safe for pupils and school staff, with no RAAC in the main school building and structural engineers have advised there are no concerns about the current condition of the gym roof structure.
