Heathrow and Gatwick airports have found traces of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in their buildings, according to several media reports.
Heathrow found traces of RAAC in its Terminal 3
The news comes as RAAC was behind the closure of 147 schools over the past few weeks after concerns over the concrete’s safety were raised.
National outlets said Heathrow was taking “remedial steps” to mitigate safety risks after finding that its Terminal 3 contained the material while Gatwick said it monitored the presence of RAAC regularly while refusing to disclose the location.
