Investing in structural safety may be perceived as expensive, but it's not nearly as costly as putting matters right when things go wrong.
Research has shown that inappropriate design and construction can significantly increase the necessary spend on a building across its lifespan.
Furthermore, structural defects and failures can occur at any point in a building's life meaning that planning ahead is vital in minimising risk.
This unique event will explore the issues surrounding the structural safety of buildings from the initial design stage to refurbishment and beyond.
Experts will deal with topical issues such as:.
* The role of risk management in long term safety.
* Minimising deterioration across the lifespan.
* Designer obligations inherent in the CDM regulations.
* Maintaining structural longevity in a safer and more resource efficient way.
* Designing for unexpected events.
Who should attend?.
This one-day conference will be invaluable to a range of construction professionals including structural engineers, civil engineers, risk managers, contractors, planning supervisors, facilities managers, architects, building surveyors and geotechnical engineers.
Expect to share ideas, network and build contacts at this conference.
