Description

EXPP: It is proposed to carry out improvement works to the wall to ensure its stability is not compromised, as recommended by the engineers. The works include the formation of a steel frame, composed of galvanised steel on both sides of the wall with the steel columns tied through the blocks. The principal vertical members of the frame consist of 150x100mm rectangular steel sections at 2.3m centres and bearing off reinforced concrete pad foundations. The existing strip foundation under the existing wall will remain in situ. The steel structure is designed to provide lateral support to the wall. The steel structure will then be clad in stone panels, 40mm thick, and the names of the deceased will be transferred on the panels. The repository for the ashes will remain in place with a new panel inserted allowing access to each repository provided for in the design. The wall will increase in thickness from 600mm to 1280mm.
