ABERDEEN City Council is to explore four long-term options for local authority properties affected by Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC).
Records show that 366 council and 138 private properties in the Balnagask area of the city are affected by RAAC in roof panels.
At a meeting today, the council agreed to explore the four long-term options of supporting the panels with a timber frame, replace the roofing, demolish the properties, or demolition with consideration of future housebuilding.
Following external independent engineering advice, the council said an option to extend supporting shelves was ruled out because it would not address the flexing and cracking of the RAAC panels.
In February, the council resolved to re-home all Balnagask council tenants on safety grounds by the end of 2024 – and that remains the goal regardless of the option chosen by the council when it meets again on August 21, it added.
