We are proud to announce that the University of Gloucestershire Basement Refurbishment Project has been recognised with a Structural Concrete Alliance Award, celebrating best practice and technical excellence in specialist concrete repair.
A complex refurbishment challenge
The refurbishment of the basement presented a technically demanding challenge. Extensive deterioration to the existing concrete soffits was identified, requiring a robust, proven repair solution capable of delivering long-term structural integrity while working within a tight programme. In total, the repairs covered approximately 1,300m² of basement soffit area.
The works were delivered by our specialist team at Henley Restoration and Remedials, working on behalf of our valued client Morgan Sindall Construction. Careful planning and sequencing allowed the project to be completed within a demanding six-week programme, while maintaining quality and safety standards throughout.
Following detailed investigation and specification, Fosroc Dry Spray repair solutions were selected as the most suitable system for the works. The system provided excellent compatibility with the existing structure and allowed for efficient application, helping to maintain programme certainty and enable the basement to be returned to service promptly for follow-on trades.
Meticulous surface preparation by the Henley team ensured the repair materials performed to their full potential, delivering consistent application, strong adhesion, and a durable, high-quality finish once cured.
The success of the project is reflected in feedback from the main contractor:
“Following meticulous surface preparation by Henley and the project team, the Fosroc products performed to their full potential. The result is a durable, high-quality repair that fully meets both the structural and aesthetic objectives of the project.”
