Defects in Cavity Construction

Cavity walls have served us very well for almost a century however, as walls get older and more complicated, do we have the skills to see when then they may have been compromised?

Failure of cavity wall metal ties that bind the leaves of most cavity walls is reasonably well understood however, the implications of cavity wall installations and the impact of other forms of retrofit insulation and other interventions are less well known.

As well as thinking about the mechanisms for failure, our new Defects in Cavity Construction course will explore inspection and assessment techniques, offer recommendations and explore the means of delivering solutions to problems that are discovered.
