Some more comments now from Prof Chris Goodier, concrete expert at Loughborough University, who spoke to BBC Breakfast earlier. Nice to see there are real concrete experts out there. And now Dundee Uni saying their shoddy concrete work is going to cost millions to repair. I wonder who in Dundee works on concrete, and may be to blame for all this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66708944 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who in Dundee works on concrete, and may be to blame for all this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-66708944 I found this bit of the report interesting. RAAC is a cheap version of concrete that was used mostly in construction between the 1950s and 1990s. The Health and Safety Executive said RAAC was now beyond its lifespan and may "collapse with little or no notice". That suggests that it has been known for some time that this was an issue that would need to be addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see the big shiny building opposite my office. It's beautiful. Meantime, we have a staff:student ratio around 1:70 this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
