While many factors can disrupt construction schedules, few are more frustrating than questions concerning in-situ concrete quality. In many cases unnecessary delay and cost is caused by poor site testing practices rather than substandard construction.

In this seminar, we will discuss quality testing that occurs before a product arrives onsite and provide guidance on correct methods of sampling and testing concrete placed on site. Delivered by highly experienced industry professionals, the differences between quality requirements placed on producers and those on site will be explained. In addition, the seminar will advise how results should be interpreted, and the consequences to both producers and contractors of poor practices.

This seminar is an indispensable update for Design Engineers, Site Engineers, those in a supervisory roles and all interested in the efficient delivery of quality concrete structures.

Every professional involved in concrete construction has specific responsibilities to ensure the quality of the finished structure.  However, achieving successful concrete projects also requires collective responsibility. SPECIFYINGCONCRETE.ie was developed to assist all concrete industry professionals in identifying and understanding both their individual responsibilities and provide an insight into the responsibilities of others. In addition, this valuable resource provides background and references to regulations, standards and guidance documents.

Delivered by experienced industry professionals, this one-hour technical seminar will provide an introduction and overview of SPECIFYINGCONCRETE.ie.  From the viewpoint of the designer, builder and producer, guidance will be given on how the website can be utilised to assist in understanding key requirements for consideration at planning, manufacturing and construction  stages.

Who should attend

This presentation will be of interest to all those who are involved in the design, specification, production and construction of concrete. Those who should attend include design engineers, consulting engineers, concrete producers, and engineers in contracting and sub-contracting firms.
