HELIFIX STRUCTURAL
REPAIRS REINSTATE ARCHES
AT HISTORIC ALLY PALLY
As part of a refurbishment and
restoration programme at the
world famous Alexandra Palace,
structural repair experts, HELIFIX,
devised a bespoke repair solution
to secure an arch window and
two adjacent minor arches on the
north-west tower.
Historic movement of this Grade II listed building had caused loss of
compression in the arches, allowing them to relax and move. The Helifix
engineered design permanently and innovatively ties the three arches
together, addressing both structural and aesthetic requirements.
Helifix used bonded HeliBars to reinforce the masonry, grouted
CemTies to secure the arches and a pair of 7m long SockFix tie bars,
virtually hidden from view, being carefully installed through all three
arches and positioned in line with the window transoms.
Previous remedial work had involved a brick infill and steel beams
that had rusted causing further brickwork damage. The Helifix solution
allowed these unsightly remedial measures to be removed and the
original window to be reinstated.
