<p>The Department is aware of the risk of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC)
in Network Rail operational property - as it is a well-known building industry risk.
Network Rail has a number of control measures in place through its comprehensive building
inspection standards, which would identify and manage the presence of RAAC and the
associated types of building defect and degradation. Network Rail’s assurance processes,
undertaken by competent individuals, provide additional levels of control to identify
the risks presented by RAAC. The Network Rail building asset management community
has been briefed on the risks presented by RAAC on a number of occasions.</p>
