Raac in a sentence

A Cardiff council spokesperson said a building management plan has been in place at St David's Hall for the past 18 months, with regular inspections by structural engineers with RAAC expertise.

After investigation, it was also found that no RAAC was used in the construction of the school.

A leaked internal DfE document seen by the Mirror said: “The current advice is that all RAAC, regardless of the risk rating, should be taken out of use and all mitigations should be implemented immediately.

Despite the discovery of RAAC, the school is pleased to remain open to all pupils, staff and visitors as only the top floor of the building is impacted.

Following reports that reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) could have been used in more NHS trusts than previously estimated, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has urgently carried out a survey to assess the hospitals in the trust.

Moray, Inverclyde, Perth and Kinross, North Lanarkshire, Glasgow, and Argyll and Bute councils all reported one school each with Raac in their local authority areas.
