UKRI RAAC Impact Programme

Securing £3m from Innovate UK enabled crucial research into RAAC, focusing on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to identify RAAC in buildings and assess its condition. This funding supported industry collaboration to develop automated methods for rapid, cost-effective assessments and investigate solutions for RAAC replacement or monitoring. The programme also laid the groundwork for a future training programme and the creation of the RAAC Playbook, which aggregates key insights and provides a draft framework for addressing RAAC issues across industry and government, paving the way for a standardised approach.
