Decision details
Strand Underpass Ceiling Repairs
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for City Highways
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Approval is sought to replace a section of the
suspended ceiling in the Strand Road Underpass which had to be
removed fro safety reasons.
Decision:
In the absence of the Cabinet Member for City Highways, the Leader of the Council approved capital expenditure to reinstate the defective section of suspended ceiling in the Strand Road Underpass. Funding for these works exists within the City Management and Communities Capital Programme for ‘Tunnel Improvements’ and Planned Preventative Maintenance.
The ceiling is an essential component of the underpass. It helps to provide a uniform light reflectance in the tunnel and also has important fire protection properties.
The replacement ceiling has been re-designed such that if significant water ingress into the tunnel were to occur again, the water would be managed more effectively.
