Repairing Cast Iron Columns

[Gareth J]

Think your advise should be to tell them to prop it asap to avoid anything very big and messy. Unless they're hoping for an insurance job!

Also don't think a SE will help all that much with repair unless very specialised. They're more likely to just tell you what you already know - that they aren't for for purpose and need to be replaced. They might be able to assist with what to replace them with that will be structurally sound and hopefully fit in with the listed status.

Metalock guarantee their work. The repairs to the columns of Hammersmith bridge haven’t fallen down yet. The rest of it is however haha

They knew how to build them back in the day. At a previous company, we were involved in the demolition of the Piers on BlackFriars bridge so they could build the new station on the top.
Each brick on the inside had to be dug out and taken across the Thames for disposal. Then the cast iron was removed using arc air gouging. Hell of a job
