FOI-17 | Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC)
I am a journalist at BBC Scotland working on coverage around safety concerns over Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and its lifespan.
Although much of the coverage has focused on public buildings, previous reports in Inside Housing have pointed to the use of the material in social housing built in the 1960s and 1970s. As such, we are also hoping ascertain how widespread this material is in Scotland’s housing stock. We are contacting all housing associations listed on the Register of Social Landlords about the presence of RAAC within their stock.
Could you please answer the following questions:
1. Has RAAC been used/detected in any of your properties? If so, how many properties are affected?
2. Does the HA intend to carry further inspections on its properties to ascertain how many have RAAC?
3. Has remedial work been carried out, or is scheduled to be carried out, as a result of RAAC being detected? If so, how many properties are affected?
If possible, could you respond to this email by Wednesday (Sept 6)? Any information provided will be used in summary alongside other housing associations. | 6 Sep 2023 | 18 Sep 2023 | ![PDF](/img/icon/pdf.png) |
