Mega Expanding Foam from Beeny

Temporary fix ? This stuff is organic so will degenerate over time. When they experimentally glued large concrete tiles on the outside of tower blocks in the 60's (Univ of Warwick) they started falling off in

Coal is organic. Its lasted a few million years

Wood is organic. We make houses out of it.

Has no bearing, since this is not 50 year old epoxy.

Expanding foam made me nervous. It is used for surface pot/sink hole filling in other countries (they make a giant cone shaped plug of it). However, If you can pump down expanding foam, why can you not pump down a concrete slurry under (very) high pressure?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain saying something like:

fault by interfering with the drainage near that wall. Seems an awful coincidence, given the wall had stood fine for two centuries.

I think we have "Beeny labour figures". She quoted the average re-roof in the UK as =A320,000 and the house (admittedly 16 room, valleys, large roof) as =A350,000-60,000. That might include "all new rafters, wall plate, scaffold & 80,000 cups of tea".

Cobblers.

The tiles in question were held on by tile adhesive, not epoxy. The epoxy was applied after the tiles started to fall off as an attempt to remedy the problem. The tiles that had epoxy injected behind them are still in place after thirty years.

That's modern flexible tile adhesive using an organic latex admixture.

Relatively popular in Germany and Italy. The foam can be used to restore subsided subsoil to something closer to its original level. It produces huge pressure as it expands in the soil.
