This seminar aims to:- Highlight the relevant standards covering the different elements of concrete repair- Highlight how to notice and assess the different symptoms/factors that cause deterioration in concrete- Provide information on ways of preventing or treating these symptoms and causes of deterioration and repairing the relevant structure- Highlight the quality testing of products complying with EN 1504

This CPD seminar discusses the types of ceramic tile available; failures that occur and how through selecting the correct fixing methods and preparation most failures can be avoided. It also covers the design process; health and safety issues and British Standards.By the end of this CPD delegates should have a better understanding of:1. Common tiling failures and how to avoid them.2. Substrate selection.3. The significance of movement joints.4. Tile types and which adhesive should be specified.5. Adhesive and grout choices.

This Below Ground Waterproofing CPD aims to provide specifiers of structural waterproofing systems with guidance on how to achieve a successful waterproofing strategy for basement structures. The seminar covers the design process, how to adhere to BS 8102:2022, key points for consideration during the specification phase, waterproofing grades and overview of material types for Type A, B and C waterproofing systems.By the end of this CPD delegates should:1. Understand the key items to consider during the design phase.2. Be aware of BS 8102:2022 requirements and recommendations.3. Understand waterproofing grades and criteria.4. Obtain an introduction to common material types used for basement waterproofing.5. Understand Type A, B and C waterproofing systems and how they are installed on site.

This seminar will:- Explain the common product types- Review BS and NBS standards- Explain how epoxy systems work- Look at common pitfalls and what goes wrong- Show successful projects and what works

This seminar looks at the use and installation of light weight, large format porcelain tiles. It will help you to understand the following topics:- The use and benefits of large format porcelain tiles- Substrate preparation- Adhesives to use and safe tile application- The risks and how to avoid failures

This CPD explores the different screed types commonly available and highlights the advantages of specifying proprietary screeds as an alternative to unmodified sand-cement mixes. We examine information that should be included in a specification to help ensure a successful installation. The CPD explains how to overcome common issues such as moisture control, shrinkage, thickness limitations and slow strength gain, and highlights how proprietary screeds can offer reduced environmental impact when compared to traditional mixes.

This CPD aims to illustrate the benefits of external wall insulation, design considerations, choice of system and finishes. We will also highlight common issues involved in system specification.

The presentation informs the audience of the many different types of resin flooring available for both commercial and industrial areas and identifies the appropriate specification criteria when considering this type of finish. Reference is made to Ferfa (Federation of Resin Flooring Applicators) standards, system categories and industry guidance.Suitable substrates and their preparation, product types, Building Regulation Approved Documents, consideration of the Equality Act 2010, slip resistance, fire regulations, LRV's and repair/maintenance criteria are all discussed.The safety and well-being of applicators and building occupants with reference to BREEAM, LEED v4 and EPD's. (Environmental Product Declarations) are included.Case studies are provided with opportunity to discuss the systems with the presenter.By the end of this CPD, delegates should:1. Have an understanding of resin flooring types available on the market today.2. Be aware of the regulatory criteria to be considered when specifying.3. Know where to look for supporting documentation and support.4. Be able specify the correct resin flooring finish for their project.5. Have a source of contact for advice and specifications.

This seminar aims to assist architects in determining the correct products and procedures required to prepare the substrate prior to the installation of the finished flooring.

This seminar looks at concrete applications and repair. It will help you to understand the following topics:- Understand typical concrete applications, what can go wrong, methods of testing and monitoring and solutions - Understand how to plan project strategy- Understand how to diagnose failure- Understand how to tackle corrosion
