The Weber range of proven specialist mortars for civil engineering, concrete and crack repair in buildings meet the new BS EN1504 standard and Weber is providing technically compliant data which meets this standard. Weber offers a comprehensive advisory service to assist surveyors, structural engineers and architects to work within the new regulation. A new RIBA approved CPD training module is now available from Weber to assist the understanding of this complex set of regulations.  

David Reid-Simms, Business Manager, Weber Construction Mortars, welcomes the new standard: “Now there is a unified standard right across Europe that will ensure that concrete repairs are carried out to the same high standards. BS EN1504 integrates the product manufacturer, the specifier and the applicators in a formal and repeatable formula that has 11 principles.  These principles range from protection against water ingress through to corrosion protection techniques. BS EN1504 provides a platform for the management strategy of a structure from initial identification of the problem, selection of the appropriate remedial product category to quality control and on-site application.”    

Weber has contributed substantially in both time and financial investment in the formation of the new standard which has relied heavily on our expertise in this sector,” confirms Reid-Simms   The second and revised edition of the Construction Solutions Handbook, now available in print and on CD, will continue to be the definitive guide for distributors, stockists, contractors, engineers, architects and surveyors tasked with designing a concrete repair project in total compliance with BS EN1504.
