The Royal College of Radiologists HQ: Case Study

Built in 1886, Number 63 Lincoln’s Inn Fields was one of the first reinforced concrete buildings in London chosen to become the new hub and headquarters for The Royal College of Radiologists.

The scheme to create the new College headquarters involved a complete refurbishment and re-fitting of the building. In addition, the forecourt was excavated to create a lower ground floor lecture theatre and multi-purpose space.

The main contract was awarded to Coniston construction, and at tender stage Cemplas Waterproofing and Concrete Repairs Ltd submitted a successful tender to carry out the scheduled repairs using a Fosroc system.

Unusually all the repairs were internal, and were a mixture of soffit and column repairs which were re-instated using a combination of Renderoc HB repair mortar, Renderoc LA, and dry-packing using non-shrink grouts.

The works undertaken by Cemplas were from the newly formed basement over the full eight floors. Working alongside other sub-contractors, Cemplas provided their own access platforms, and worked quickly and methodically to ensure Coniston’s programme was met.
