Cranebrook Sandstone Wall Reconstruction: Project Video
Watch this 22-second SCE project video documenting the completed reconstruction of a damaged sandstone entrance wall in Cranebrook, NSW.
What This Video Shows
The footage shows the entrance wall after reconstruction. SCE retained and reused salvaged sandstone where it was suitable for the rebuilt wall.
Reconstruction Scope
SCE coordinated and delivered the insurance repair to this damaged residential entrance wall. We retained suitable salvaged sandstone, reconstructed the wall and restored the entrance presentation. The video shows the completed result; the full case study explains the agreed reconstruction scope.
Can you fix broken sandstone?
Repair or reconstruction may be possible after the stone, wall condition and cause of damage are assessed. At Cranebrook, SCE rebuilt the entrance wall and reused suitable salvaged sandstone. The decision to retain a block depends on its condition and its role in the rebuilt wall, not simply whether a similar colour can be found.
Our masonry investigation and repair guide explains the assessment questions. For a retaining structure, use the separate retaining wall planning guide, as ground and drainage conditions also need consideration.
