Following the collapse of an external wall at Oxgangs Primary School in Edinburgh in January 2016 North Lanarkshire Council undertook extensive visual inspections of the new school estate and these did not show any reasons for concern. Since then the Report of the Independent Inquiry into the Construction of Edinburgh Schools has been published. Amongst the findings it was suggested that visual inspections should also be supported with intrusive surveys to provide assurance on wall construction. We have therefore decided as a precautionary measure to undertake exploratory inspections of school walls. Structural Engineers will be undertaking an initial walk round of schools to familiar themselves and this will be followed by an inspection of the external walls in selected areas to determine cavity
