Abstract
This paper describes the merits of using helical steel to repair structurally-unsound buildings, instead of traditional demolition and rebuild. It promotes the use of helical steel as a way of maintaining the existing structure and reintroducing structural stability back into it, using a more economical solution. It explains the basic methods used and the types of application it can be used for. It tells the benefits of using a product that creates minimal disruption to the masonry, giving a concealed, structurally-reliable repair. The paper gives one case study as an example of using this system on a listed building, and describes how this benefited the client and the local authority.
