Some good information imo.
That was an interesting & informative video that was not nearly as terrible as the thumbnail might suggest.
Not a fan of current trends in YouTube thumbnails.
I have worked in the building trade as a much younger person in the 80's. I have a fair grasp of physics and chemistry. I consider myself to be halfway intelligent around most issues with buildings. I never built anything with RAAC.
I actually found this information much worse than the opinion I had before it. I wasn't aware of the sliding due to heat, or the extra stresses caused by bad fitment in the first place. I only found out last night that water makes the material crumbly (literally like the crumble on apple crumble). This really is a can of worms. I can only see this causing an accident. I am hoping they have removed all from working under this type of building material.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
I was thinking this early on on the video and have been thinking this for years so glad he picked up on this - wtf do we use flat roofs in this country!!!
Some great other points about having a standard design but can't see it getting past the NIMBYs. Tbh, buildings have got very similar looking anyway and at this point, we've really got to question why we're allowing our children to spend several hours a day in buildings which weren't designed to last this long and has asbestos everywhere.
has asbestos everywhere.
That bit we understand. Moving asbestos is what makes it dangerous.
In all places. Asbestos is only recommended to be removed if it is damaged. As the act of removing or damage creates the dust that kills the workers.
As a idea. I live in a council house full of the shit. The really did use it for everything in the 60s.
When I moved in I was given a list of thing not to touch. (All is buried in the structure. So only knocking down walls or ceilings would cause any inssue).
I really liked the idea of a flat design for schools as well. It makes a lot of sense.
