Abstract
Works professional services for English Heritage
Adrian Glass
1 - 2
Describes the role of the central Works Professional teams who provide the technical expertise needed within EH for its conservation programmes. Illustrated with an example of recent structural work on the Bishop's Palace, Lincoln.
Coordinated project information and conservation works
Martin Clayton
Paul Woodfield
3 - 5
Looks at how Coordinated Project Information (CPI) standards for specification of building works may be applied to buildings conservation projects. Provides a brief background to the CPI initiative and gives an account of EH's trial application of the standards during work on Bolsover Castle.
Structural first aid after a disaster
Ian Hume
6 - 7
Offers advice on how to respond to damage caused to historic buildings by disasters such as fires, storms and explosions. A sympathetic building professional should be present at the earliest possible stage so that the emergency services can be advised of appropriate action. The steps to be taken to ensure the immediate support of a building are considered, along with medium term precautions against the elements and acts of vandalism. It is also emphasised that listed building or scheduled monument consents may still be required for emergency demolition.
Learning to measure historic buildings
Ross Dallas
Bill Blake
8 - 9
Reporting on a course teaching techniques for measured survey of historic buildings, based at Stowe School and developed by the Research and Professional Services Group of EH. Describes a typical example of course work (a survey of the Queen's Temple).
Lightning protection for historic buildings
Peter Mann
9 - 10
Using the example of the rotunda at Ickworth Hall, Suffolk, the article shows how existing metal parts of a structure (at Ickworth, rainwater downpipes) can be used to provide a direct path to earth in the event of a lightning strike. It is therefore possible to provide protection in compliance with BS 6651 (1990), without defacing the exterior of the building.
Natural wall cappings
Andy Wimble
John Thompson
11 - 12
After reviewing recent use of various techniques employing turf and other flora (`soft capping') for the consolidation of ruined stone structures at Jervaulx, Bolingbroke, and Tintagel, the article reports on the experiments at the eighteenth-century garrison on the Island of St Mary. Here, in 1992, a mixture of soil and proprietary material called DANU was employed as a growing medium to help re-establish the natural flora on top of 1--2m high granite walls of the Garrison.
