The bricks are decoy. The avarage person associates brick with “tradition” and “artisan”. Ronan point wasn’t built correctly. There’s nothing wrong with precast but ronan point was early technology coupled with inproper execution. They put newspapers in joints where there should have been mortar. The panels should be placed in a mortar bed, with sufficient compressive strenght. But instead due to lack of proper supervision they used newspapers in some places. Oopsie.... Ronan point also didn’t have enough redundancy, i.e. It did not have an alternate load path as a safety fall back. Nowerdays high rise buildings are required to have some redundancy against gas explosions, to prevent progressive collapse. This is ususally provided with extra reinforcement bars that tie the panels tohether. It’s a bit technical to explain in full detail how this works though. Those flats in barking look very similair to ronan point, the walls look like a sandwhich construction with a load bearing inner wall, a bit of thermal insulation in the core and an outer panel that acts as cladding. The panels are joined with rebar or stainless steel connectors.
True, I lived in a new build for 8 years.. The bricks are awful, they was saturated with water, my property got flooded on more than 3 occasions, there was a waterfall of rain coming through all my ceilings, even though I was on the second floor and there was a flat above me. Needless to say they moved me.
The large concrete panels are not just cladding, they are what the building was made from - there is no other structural support. This is what is called a Large Panel System. If the connections from one panel to another panel were not done properly, the building can collapse like Ronan Point did. There is an excellent documentary here on TH-cam called "Inquiry - The great British Housing disaster" that explains really well the problems of these LPS buildings and why a lot of them already got demolished in the 80s, only 20 years after they were built.
some of the buildings from the 50s-80s in London are unsafe as they are able to sway from side to side during high winds which is probably why they are being pulled down. RT did a video on this recently
The reason why they are tearing down the ‘flat pack’ blocks is because they are dangerous. Read about the ronan point disaster. It only takes one panel to fail for the whole block to fall down.
The blocks built the same as the Ronan Point were all reinforced afterwards (except three in Southwark which were recently discovered!) and the other types are not built in the same way so wouldn't collapse in such an incident.
So recommend going to the Gascoigne estates in barking a little while back and I'm so glad you did, the h horrible smell in the flats in normally the bin stores in my experience from working in them. I fitted that back door at 3:55 at the begining of the year
Loads of new builds have gen2s. They are horrid. A gen2 can not cope with the abuse that they get in residential buildings. And they are painfully slow. I know of buildings with over 30 floors which have cheap 1.6 m/s gen2s.

DrCassette so actually the new blocks are safer
@@LiftEnthusiast2020OFFTOPIC nah they aren't safer lexham house was well built unlike ronan point

as well as a disaster local councils paid no attention to
If I’m completely honest, it’s not really that depressing if you lived there.
I use to live near there, scary place. So many criminals it shits you up. You can’t into one undetected for long. Creepy place

They're still building in precast concrete, I would've thought they could reinforce the joints more cheaply than demolishing entire blocks.
those new buildings are intentional mistakes.
no, that'd be you.

the beginning of the video had me weakkkkk
In Indonesia lift conducted are very-very common in malls.
There actually exists a town called Twatt in the uk.
I eagerly await the Penistone series
On the flip side there are plenty of towns in the U.K.full of twats.
and there's a place called Bell End in the UK too
Only 2 people live in a block of flats... wow ... just wow...
İ love that AnTi LiFt SuRfİnG AlArM thing that doesnt work
Some 60’s blocks are coming down in Enfield now only 1 left.where there were 4
Alma road?
1:55 gen 2 inside a flat wow I never seen that design before I only seen gen 2 inside of Tesco extra
Loads of new builds have gen2s. They are horrid. A gen2 can not cope with the abuse that they get in residential buildings. And they are painfully slow. I know of buildings with over 30 floors which have cheap 1.6 m/s gen2s.
I don’t think Perryman is being pulled down
it's not it's still there
What would you say is the most "grotty" area you've ever been too? I live in Chatham which is a pretty bad place and I'm just wondering
The old bus station in Chatham was one of the grottiest places before it was fenced off
@@benolifts thanks for replying
Can you explore Grenfell Tower, I bet the lift room is intact
ChubbAlarms that is being pulled Down you idiot that is in no condition to be walked through and people died
Have you found any secret floors in Utah U.S.
A Safety Brake *Holds Up Lift Key To Camera*
Beno if they stripped the buildings down they wouldve Put in more otis gen2's
people saying first love buses!
My friends used to live there I know what you mean
The 60 block has a generic lift
Well at least it is Gen2 than Generic Lester Controls.
I think generic lifts are better than gen2’s
I would prefer a lestercontrol with 2D barcode system
WHY THE FUCK AM I NEVER FIRST!
Hahahahah epsilepsy light
First first comment 2
Lexham and oben house were the worst
