This two-day training course is designed for Project Managers and covers a comprehensive range of topics related to concrete properties, materials, composition, testing, specifications, and quality management. Led by Course Tutor Tony Binns MCIPD (Chartered) MICT, the course includes sessions on concrete types, finishes, mix design, quality schemes, on-site management, testing methods, and recent technological advancements. Participants will gain knowledge on concrete standards, performance specifications, and practical skills for ensuring concrete quality and conformity on construction sites.

This one-day course provides an introduction to designing masonry using Eurocode 6, focusing on key elements of the new design code. Participants will learn about the Eurocode suite, Eurocode 6's structure and operation, and key features of Part 1-1 Eurocode 6. The course includes tutorials on designing vertically and laterally loaded walls and panels. It is intended for civil and structural engineering designers interested in masonry design using EN1996-1-1. The course is interactive, with practical design examples, and led by a Chartered Civil and Structural Engineer involved in developing Eurocode 6.

The FIDIC Training course is designed to provide an intermediate level understanding of the notification, submission, and resolution of claims under the 1999 FIDIC Conditions of Contract. Participants will learn essential actions for fair claim resolution, review relevant claims clauses, and explore dispute settlement procedures. By the end of the course, attendees should be able to understand key procedures, apply claims clauses, avoid common pitfalls, and actively participate in the settlement of claims.

This one-day course focuses on providing an introduction and basic understanding of water treatment to ensure a safe, clear, and palatable water supply. Participants will gain insights into the principles and techniques of drinking water treatment, learning to identify appropriate technologies through tutored sessions and syndicate work. The course is suitable for graduates from various backgrounds and disciplines. Topics covered include water sources, pre-treatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment processes.

The course on "The New Code on Geotechnical Design" is a two-day program aimed at engineering design professionals to understand and adapt to the mandatory Eurocode suite of documents. The course covers the implications of the new Standards on geotechnical structures and ground investigation procedures. Day 1 focuses on design procedures for geotechnical structures, while Day 2 covers ground investigation and testing aspects. Sessions include an introduction to Eurocode documents, parameter characterization, design for foundations, sampling, testing, soil description, and reporting.

This one-day course focuses on the impact of new highway surfacing materials, European and British Standards, and revised Highway Agency guidance. Participants will gain practical guidance on achieving durable bituminous mixtures for new highway construction and repairs, troubleshooting poor performance, and understanding new standards. The course is designed for engineering and technical staff responsible for road works. The objectives include understanding factors influencing bituminous mixtures, selecting appropriate mix types, maintaining surfaces safely, identifying problems, and being aware of new standards. The course covers topics such as pavement overview, types of mixtures, surface characteristics, and laying techniques.

This one-day course focuses on the Construction Act of 1996 and its amendments, addressing enforcement, adjudication, payment provisions, and other related topics. Participants will explore the practical implications of the new Act, its incorporation into the SBCC, and strategies to avoid pitfalls in tendering processes.
