Entrance Screens

The new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information as well as digital advertising.

The initial 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 applied to slow the complex combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding the central panel. This has slowed the necessity of costly replacement of stones and offered a more tolerant alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
