Infrastructure & Construction Training

The Design and Construction Management Training course aims to familiarize delegates with the management processes necessary for preparing designs for construction projects. The course covers traditional design approaches, good practices in managing design-construction interfaces, and the latest innovations in Integrated Collaborative Design. Sessions include discussions on design sequences, procurement chains, communication, and control. The course duration is one day, with options for onsite closed company courses in various locations.

The SHEA Electric Training course, developed in consultation with the electricity industry, consists of seven core modules focusing on health and safety in the context of electricity transmission and distribution industries. The course covers topics such as legal duties, hazards to health, personal protective equipment, working environment safety, environmental impact awareness, incident procedures, and equipment regulations. Training is managed by Energy & Utility Skills and must be delivered by approved trainers. The course aims to ensure participants understand and adhere to industry-specific safety protocols.

The course will consider the differences between process plant contracts and other construction contracts, followed by a detailed examination of the IChemE forms of contract. 

The CESMM Contract Training is a 2-day workshop aimed at helping participants understand the standard methods of measurement, specifically the CESMM. The course covers topics such as itemizing and numbering, preparation of bills of quantities, and worked examples in various work classes like Earthworks, Concrete, Pipeworks, and Piling. By the end of the workshop, participants should be able to recognize the rationale behind CESMM, interpret working sections, and appreciate the value of Method Related Charges.

The Highway Drainage Systems Training course aims to raise awareness of effective design and maintenance of surface water systems, emphasizing pollution control and storm outflow containment. Participants gain knowledge of road drainage design, construction approaches, and environmental guidance. The course covers topics such as drainage systems, Environment Agency requirements, climate change impact, and drainage design software. It is suitable for graduates, technicians, and experienced staff involved in road design and construction, offering practical instruction and updates on drainage technology.

The Steel Eurocode 3 Training course focuses on the transition from British Standards to Eurocode 3 for designing steel structures. Led by an expert tutor, the course covers key changes, structural behavior, and design philosophies. Aimed at experienced civil and structural engineers, it emphasizes understanding Eurocode notation systems and designing structures accordingly. The one-day Essentials course offers practical guidance through presentations, discussions, and tutorials, highlighting the differences between BS5950 and Eurocode 3.

The Structural Appraisals Training course focuses on helping engineers and professionals in the UK understand and identify classic structural defects in buildings from different periods. Participants will learn to anticipate major defects, recognize causes of structural movement, and prevent failures. The course, led by an experienced Technical Director, covers various building types and materials through real-life case studies. Intended for engineers, architects, surveyors, and others, the program includes topics like structural surveys, movement causes, and specific period-related issues.

Ground Conditions Training is a one-day course designed for civil and structural engineers in the UK construction industry. The course focuses on identifying common errors and challenges in geotechnical design, emphasizing the importance of obtaining accurate data for effective decision-making. Led by an experienced chartered civil engineer, the training aims to enhance participants' understanding of key design parameters, risk management, and cost considerations in geotechnics. By the end of the course, delegates are expected to recognize the significance of quality geotechnical data, address design challenges, and adopt a systematic approach to data acquisition.
