Infrastructure & Construction Training

This three-day training course for Engineers, led by Course Tutor Tony Binns, covers a comprehensive range of topics related to concrete properties and composition. Participants will learn about materials such as cements, fly ash, and silica fume, as well as techniques for testing concrete quality and managing concrete on-site. The course includes practical sessions on concrete trials, use of admixtures, and standard tests according to BS EN standards. Participants will also gain insights into concrete specification, quality control, and quality assurance processes.

This 2-day course focuses on contract law and management, with an emphasis on understanding contract clauses, risks, and strategies. Participants will learn about contract drafting, performance contracts, subcontracting, design risks, site installation, testing, completion, guarantees, and dispute resolution. The course aims to provide a comprehensive overview of contract management principles and practical insights for effective project execution.

This two-day course focuses on slope stability in civil engineering projects, covering classification, assessment, analysis, and remediation. Led by an expert tutor, it aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to recognize slope movements, understand geotechnical parameters, use analysis software, plan assessments, implement remedial measures, and conduct risk analysis. The course is designed for civil, geotechnical, and geological engineers, infrastructure managers, and others involved in projects with slope features. The program includes theoretical sessions on day one and practical sessions on day two, with reference to case studies.

This 5-day course on NRSWA - New Roads and Street Works - for Operatives Units 1-6 & 9 is designed for those carrying out excavation, backfill, and reinstatement for street works. The aim is to equip delegates with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform operative duties in compliance with City & Guilds standards and the NRSW Act 1991 for personal and public safety. The course covers topics such as locating underground apparatus, excavation, reinstatement of materials, and safety equipment selection. Training methods include group exercises, assessments, videos, and tutorials. Successful completion leads to individual certificates and potentially a full Street Works qualification.

The Utility Excavations and Reinstatements course is designed for those involved in Streetworks, offering knowledge on material choices, processes, and sustainability. It aims to improve work quality, reduce defects, and enhance compliance with standards to prevent insurance claims and maintenance liabilities. The one-day course covers topics such as excavation, asphalt properties, and assessment of finished jobs. The speaker, Phil Cartmail, brings over 35 years of experience in civil engineering processes and materials. This CPD-endorsed course encourages collaboration to enhance industry practices.

This three-day course provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of steel, concrete, and composite bridges to Eurocodes. Engineers will learn the principles of Eurocodes, bridge analysis methods, and design of bridge elements. The course aims to help participants understand Eurocode concepts, navigate between relevant codes, and undertake bridge designs according to Eurocodes. It is intended for civil and structural engineers familiar with bridge design to BS5400, seeking knowledge on road and rail bridge design to Eurocodes.

The Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures Training course focuses on practical application of design principles following Eurocode 2. It covers design methods, analysis requirements, and detailing for safe and efficient reinforced concrete structures. The course aims to equip delegates with a broad design capability in reinforced concrete, emphasizing bending, shear, axial resistance, and deflection. The tutor, a chartered civil and structural engineer, leads interactive sessions with worked examples and tutorials. Intended for civil and structural engineers, design managers, and staff from contractor, design, and client organizations.

This one-day course focuses on updating participants on Asphalt Terminology, Bitumen Grades, Laying Asphalt, and Assessment of the finished job. It includes practical asphalt laying sessions and an end-of-course assessment. Clients are required to provide kit and facilities for this onsite training.
