Engineering In Chalk - New Guidance From CIRIA
Comprehensive publication describes chalk's geological setting, its origins, occurrence, its stratigraphy, weathering and geomorphological situations, the materials and mechanical properties.
In order to ensure this continues it is vital to provide practitioners with the best possible information, and the confidence to implement the guidance as well as use SUDS within developments.
CIRIA and Sustainable Drainage Associates will be holding a series of training modules in Loughborough on the following dates: .
* SUDS fundamentals, 24 November 2005.
* Designing SUDS, 17 and 18 January 2006.
* Planning and evaluating SUDS, 16 February 2006.
* Maintenance and adoption of SUDS, 28 March 2006.
These training modules have been developed to build on current SUDS guidance and assist with the dissemination and implementation of good practice.
The training programme will enable practitioners to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage SUDS schemes in accordance with best practice guidance and the relevant legal and regulatory framework.
The 2005/6 programme will retain the same format as the successful series of SUDS courses held in 2004/5 and will aim to achieve the same high level of acclaim; CIRIA reported that, of those who returned feedback, around nine out of ten delegates reported the workshops to be either excellent or good, overall.
One delegate completed a SUDS workshop with " the confidence that I can find all I need to know within the sources referred to in the course".
Another praised the courses for "taking the 'mystery' out of SUDS and what maintenance was required etc.
Delegates can either attend individual modules or a combination of two or more.
Each module will be led by recognised practitioners and experts, and has obtained Continuing Personal and Professional Development (CPD) from CIWEM, ICE and other construction organisations.
Participation in the training will also be recorded on the CIRIA SUDS website and participants will be given a certificate.
