Cathodic Protection to Reduce Carbon
The project has saved 170 tonne of carbon and over 640 m3 of waste to landfill by changing the design and utilising cathodic protection of the existing structural steelwork, as suggested by the Principal Contractor.
The original proposal was the removal and replacement of surrounding brickwork to treat the numerous steel columns.
The system gives an unlimited design life to this building that further improves its environmental credentials. The method also de-risks stability issues with the existing structure.
