Seminar
Concrete – Focus on Sustainability
This CPD tackles the key issues facing specifiers who aim to accomplish their sustainability goal while continuing to specify safely and effectively. The presentation will cover the current conversation, the various initiatives from the industry that aim to tackle climate change, and the technologies available within construction materials that are designed specifically to aid these goals. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of:
- Initiatives geared towards sustainability in specification
- Material technologies available to reduced embodied carbon
- Comparisons between available material options based on structural requirement
- Examples of construction projects completed with sustainable materials
- How to specify sustainable materials
- Relevant opportunities for using alternative materials to meet sustainability objectives
- Advantages/disadvantages of differing concrete components
- How to interrogate relevant standards for further detailed guidance

Seminar
Specifying Foamed Concrete
Foamed concretes are a versatile group of variable strength/density materials suitable for various applications. This CPD will enable specifiers to gain a broad understanding of foam concretes and their properties and use this information to effectively specify these materials in a wide variety of situations. It will help you to understand the following topics:
- The composition and properties of foam concretes
- Technical properties and the relationship between strength and density
- The history of use and suitable applications
- Effective specification of foam concrete through case studies
