Responding to the RAAC Crisis

With only days to go before students returned to Myton School for the start of the new academic year (Sept 2023), the school was ordered to shut 30% of its teaching accommodation due to the discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in one of their main school buildings.
They turned to Portakabin for an emergency response.
At any one time, Portakabin was managing up to 30 contractors on the Myton School site to ensure the tight programme was met. Myton School was featured heavily in BBC reporting of the RAAC crisis, and all eyes were on Portakabin to deliver.
The project involved the team working in three separate areas of the school to deliver the buildings, which required detailed organisation with the school to avoid lesson changeovers as well as school start and finish times.
Listen to the team at Myton School discuss their experience with Portakabin.

Schools often need accommodation at short notice - and not always in response to a disaster such as the RAAC crisis. Full pupil intake numbers are often not known until late in the school year - and if numbers are higher than expected, you may need to get additional classrooms and other facilities in place very quickly. Portakabin can react immediately to meet these demands, ensuring learning e...
