Screens for Entrance

The new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screen doors on each sub-surface platform. These screens provide information for passengers and digital advertising.

The original entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional structure of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings, with decorative elements carved. 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 decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This has prevented the necessity of costly replacement of stones and provided a sympathetic alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
