Training Course FiveCavity Wall Tie Repair

Cavity walls have been a common feature of buildings inthe UK for over one hundred years. Two leaves of brickor stonework are held together using metal straps or‘wall ties.’ The cavities between the two leaves ofmasonry provide an effective barrier to waterpenetration and also act as an insulation layer.

In some circumstances these wall ties can corrode orfail. Failure can manifest itself as cracking in theexternal leaf of masonry, structural movement, or insevere cases, the collapse of sections of masonry.

To combat this problem, repair strategies have beendeveloped. These usually involve the installation of newremedial wall ties through the outside leaf of masonryinto the internal leaf. The original wall ties are thenremoved or isolated from the structure to prevent furtherdamage to the building. In some special circumstances,it may be possible to leave the existing ties in place.

Subjects include:Structural RestraintThis definition covers a great number of structuralrepair techniques that can be utilised to repair orrestrain masonry walls. Unwanted movement can occurin buildings for a great many reasons, these mayinclude:

• Ground movement or subsidence.• Inadequately restrained or tied walls.• Movement brought on by water ingress and timber

decay into the structure.• Failed lintels or building materials.• Movement fatigue.• Mechanical impact or disturbance.

In all these examples a structural surveyor mayrecommend some form of mechanical restraint as partof the remedial repair

Training Course FourTimber Resin Repair

Resin repairs to timber are being carried out more widely.This is because contractors are recognising the economiesof a ‘low disturbance’ approach to in-situ repair, as opposedto the more established ‘scrap and replace’ practices –increasingly deemed wasteful of valuable materials, aswell as being responsible for the unnecessary destructionof many historic structures. This one-day course provides apractical insight into the methods and materials used in therepair of timbers.

Course Programme• Introduction – A brief history of resins and their uses• Research and Development• Selling the Low Disturbance approach to Specifiers,

Engineers, Architects, Builders, Listed Home Ownersand Public Buildings.

• Examples and Job Costs• The Materials – Demonstration• The Sales Opportunities• Type A and B Repairs• TRS Type Repairs and Practical• Surveying and Measuring• Sales Tools, Materials and Media
