Spalling Masonry Made Safe At Herbert House |
|
 Herbert House, a former three storey office block in Temple Meads, Bristol, was suffering from cracking and crushing of the front elevation brickwork and movement / cracking of its high levels lintels caused by rusting and expanding metalwork. Owned and operated by TCN Management, it is currently mainly empty, with the ground floor used for storage, and may well be demolished as the site is earmarked for re-development.
However, it presented serious short term safety issues as it fronts onto a very busy road outside the main railway station. Consequently it required immediate inexpensive, but effective, short term repairs to stabilise the masonry and prevent brickwork spalling onto the pavement below where a bus stop is situated.

The front elevation masonry was stabilised by carrying out crack stitching in various areas using individual HeliBars grouted into the mortar beds while horizontal cracks between the windows were stabilised using further HeliBars drilled into the brickwork and bonded into vertically cut slots in the masonry.
All the cost-effective Helifix repairs were rapidly undertaken to reliably secure the front elevation and lintels at Herbert House, enabling the pavement below to be safely re-opened after a minimal closure period.
