RAAC plank survey utilising GPR technology ensures the safety and longevity of your RAAC plank roof.
GPR survey offers a non-intrusive and
cost-effective method to survey a RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete)
plank roof and determine if the planks are structurally sound, or if further
work is needed. RAAC plank survey can done from the roof itself looking down into the
plank, with minimal/ no disturbance of the normal operations inside the
building below.
Any planks which show signs of problems will be highlighted for further, targeted works and to be assessed; when necessary, they can be either replaced or reinforced to be made safe.
KG Surveys have extensive experience of GPR
and other non-destructive surveys, and can advise how best to tackle your roof,
for the lowest cost, without compromising on survey quality.

FAQ
What is RAAC plank?
Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC plank) is prefabricated concrete plank which are aerated to reduce weight and increase insulation properties.
Which buildings used RAAC plank construction?
RAAC plank construction was widely used from 1950 until the late 1980’s and can be found in many locations including schools, hospitals and public buildings.
Why do RAAC plank roofs require survey?
Most RAAC plank roofs have exceeded their designed service life and many will have experienced issues with corrosion. The large variation in RAAC plank construction makes it impossible to determine which roofs require work and which are sound without intrusive investigation or a GPR survey.
How much does a RAAC plank survey cost?
Survey costs have to be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the location, size of the roof, access restrictions and roof coverings. Please contact us to receive a quote.
