Basement Repairs At Historic Dockland Site

The Cunard is described as one of Liverpool’s most iconic buildings. Built in 1917, the six-storey construction not only provided sanctuary as a Second World War air-raid shelter, its dockside location also made it an ideal site for ship building blueprints and luggage storage. Following its conversion into high-end office blocks, a survey of the building revealed issues with the roof and basement.

Clan Contracting Ltd were instructed to carry out the basement’s concrete repair and began by removing the cracked and delaminated concrete and cleaning the areas in preparation for the application of a reinforcement system from Sika’s product range.
