Resapol at the King James project R
esapol recently worked with longstanding customer Bondcote, supplying material for the first stage
of repair work at the King James project; repairing two of the overhead rail archways and bridges. The repair was deemed essential as several sites on the project featured exposed rebar, which needed immediate protection to ensure the safety and longevity of the project. Members of the Bondcote team attended
training at a Resapol Training Academy; the session involved in depth presentations and hands on demonstrations of Sika
Monotop® -4012. This was a key influence in
their decision to trial the product for the first stage of repair work. Sika Monotop®
-4012 is a cementitious,
fibre reinforced, low shrinkage repair mortar that notably contains recycled waste materials which reduces the carbon footprint, making it a more sustainable product option. It is also easy to apply by either hand or wet spray application and is perfect for overhead applications as it features very low shrinkage and does not require a bonding primer, making it the perfect material for this project. Tom Brown, Resapol’s regional sales
manager for Concrete Repair, was on hand throughout the process in order to offer technical advice, as well as to arrange delivery of the materials direct to site. The repair work was completed September 2021 and deemed a complete success. Bondcote representatives were extremely impressed by the robust and effective nature of Sika Monotop®
-4012, as
well as the great service provided by Resapol. Pete Box the project manager at Bondcote had this to say: “Thanks again to everyone at Resapol for all of your kind help with the

The thermal properties, structural performance and lifespan of Keystone’s standard lintels played a crucial role in the design of two bespoke modern homes in a prime coastal position in Dorset. The neighbouring properties in the sought-after Lilliput area of Poole Harbour offer views over Parkstone Golf Club and have been designed to an exceptionally high standard. With double and triple-height ceiling voids, rooflights, high ceilings and over-sized doors, the five-bed homes have been designed by Trinity Architecture in collaboration with developer Towncourt Homes to offer residents a strong feeling of space and light. With the correct specification of lintels, a critical element of a project such as this, the design team turned to Keystone Lintels to meet their structural and thermal requirements. Keystone provided comprehensive technical support and a fast turnaround to ensure the correct lintels were made available onsite via merchant Sydenhams. Manufactured from high quality grade pre-galvanised mild steel, Keystone’s single leaf BOX/K 100, BOX/K 75 and SK-90 lintels were specified in accommodating lengths and masonry loads to achieve the architectural vision.
