Rising damp was also an issue resulting in the need for better drainage being introduced complete with automatic groundwater pump out system installed to the lowest part of the building, with  chemical flashing treatment to some sections.  Some structural stability issues had also required attention together with the need structural founding issues at the rear of the building resulting in the need for seventeen 3M piers being installed in a restricted space which affected the grease arrester and drainage.
