Screens for Entrance
The new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screens on all 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens provide information for passengers and digital advertising.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery was built in the traditional manner using Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings, as well as 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 used to slow the complex combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding the central panel. This avoided the need for expensive stone replacements and offered an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
