Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screens on all 16 sub-surface platforms. These screens provide information for passengers as well as 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 used to slow down the complex combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central part of the panel. This has slowed the necessity of costly replacement of stones and also provided a soothing alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
