This CPD tackles the key issues facing specifiers who aim to accomplish their sustainability goals 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
It will help you to understand the following topics:
- Understand the origins of Self Compacting Concrete
- Understand the considerations in specifying SCC, reasons for using it and typical applications
- Understand material properties and how to differentiate between types of reinforcement suitable for SCC applications
- Understand testing procedures
Current and projected British and European Standards are also addressed alongside:
- The design and application of different screed type
- Relevant site practice.
