The Department for Education has claimed more than 150 schools have to close at such short notice because 'new evidence' of the unsafe concrete failing without warning has only now come to light
used in schools could collapse without warning,just days before the start of the new term because of “new evidence” this summer that reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete could fail with “no warning”, rather than a previous assessment that remedial work should be carried out where there was visible evidence of buildings being affected.
“This is indicative of shear failure in cementitious materials and can only be protected against by knowing that there is sufficient shear resistance in the material, the reinforcement, or both.” A government source claimed there was a difference between the standing committee’s 2019 alert, that the concrete could collapse with “very little noticeable warning” and the new assessment that it could fail with “no warning”.
A government source insisted that the DfE did not run an identification programme for RAAC until 2022. “It’s right that they’ve taken steps to ensure the safety of schools, but we really can’t be having any more disruption to children’s education.
