Entrance Screens
The new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information and digital advertising.
The original entrance screen to the City of London Cemetery was an old-fashioned construction consisting of 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 down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms which were causing the central panel to deteriorate. This has prevented the need for costly stone replacement and offered a more tolerant alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
