Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens offer information to passengers as well as digital advertising.
The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery consisted of a typical construction of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings, with decorative carvings. 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 complex combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central part of the panel. This avoided the need for expensive stone replacements and provided an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
