The Online Reinforced Concrete Detailing Training Course is an entry-level program focusing on the basic principles of reinforced concrete detailing. It aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to avoid common pitfalls, understand the impact of detailing on projects, and produce quality detailing within time and financial constraints. The course covers documentation, drawing practices, detailing methods, and specific elements. It is designed for novice civil/structural technicians and detailers, providing a foundation for further progression in the field.

The Eurocode 2 Detailing Training Course aims to equip engineers with the knowledge and skills to detail reinforcement according to Eurocode 2 standards. Participants will learn to determine lap lengths, anchorage lengths, and understand detailing rules for various structural elements. The interactive course covers procurement methods, responsibilities in detailing, and specific element detailing. It is designed for engineers needing to detail and schedule reinforcement in the UK, with principles applicable globally. Participants are required to bring a calculator, pencil, and ruler for the 2-day course.

The Online Concrete Training Course is a comprehensive one-day program that covers various aspects of concrete technology. The course aims to enhance participants' knowledge and understanding of concrete properties, design, batching plant operations, transportation, reinforcement, formwork, and site considerations. Through interactive sessions and assessments, attendees will learn about constituent materials, codes and standards, compaction methods, curing techniques, and more. The course includes pre-course and confirmation tests to evaluate knowledge improvement.

The Structural Robustness and Disproportionate Collapse in Buildings Training Course is designed for practicing engineers to learn how to fully design structurally robust buildings to prevent disproportionate collapse. The course covers designing buildings of Class 1 – 2B, alterations/change of use of existing buildings, and touches on Class 3 buildings. It is suitable for newly Chartered or almost Chartered Engineers and experienced engineers looking to understand the updated requirements for designing robust structures. The course includes workshops, teaching sessions, and practical exercises to develop skills in robustness compliance and building design.

Eurocode 2 Training introduces the design standard for structural concrete, focusing on applying it to building elements. Delegates gain knowledge of Eurocode 2 principles and learn to design beams, slabs, columns, and foundations for flexure, shear, axial loading, and deflection. The course covers differences with BS 8110 and includes practical exercises. Aimed at Structural Engineers, prior concrete design knowledge is beneficial. The course duration is 1 day, and participants need a calculator and pencil.

This one-day course focuses on transitioning from British Standards to Eurocode 2 for designing concrete structures. It covers key changes, structural behavior, and practical application of the new European design codes, with an emphasis on buildings. The course is intended for experienced Civil and Structural Engineers and aims to enable participants to design basic reinforced concrete structures to Eurocode 2, recognize differences between Eurocode 2 and BS8110, and understand the impact of Eurocodes on UK design practice.

This three-day course provides a thorough introduction to designing steel and concrete bridges according to BS5400 and Highway Agency bridge design guide BD37. It covers key design principles, load considerations, global analysis, steel bridge elements, concrete bridge design, and practical design approaches. The course aims to equip civil and structural engineers with the knowledge needed to design bridges with construction, maintenance, and safety in mind. By the end of the course, delegates should be able to identify loadings, understand BS5400 concepts, design bridges, and address fracture and fatigue issues.

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.
