Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the sixteen sub-surface platforms. These screens offer information to passengers and digital advertising.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery was a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings and decorative carved elements. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.
Nanolime was utilized to slow the complex combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This avoided the need for costly stone replacements, and also provided an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
