Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens provide information for passengers and digital advertisements.
The initial entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a typical construction 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 employed to slow down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central panel. This prevented the need for costly stone replacements and offered an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
