Concrete products within the built external environment to create sustainable solutions

This CPD looks into how, as a manufacturer of concrete and aggregate products we have been working for more than a
decade to create sustainable solutions for all our core markets. We have been addressing issues such as ethical trading,
carbon and water management, biodiversity, and social responsibility so that we can offer our customers truly sustainable
solutions.

Cycle Infrastructure - All you need to know!

Join us to build your skills on specifying the right products for your cycle infrastructure project.

The CPD covers the benefits of cycle infrastructure from several perspectives - society, the economy and the end user. The presentation also covers the LTN1 20 document, the history of cycle infrastructure and the Charcon range of cycle kerbs.

DDA Access and Mobility

The CPD will cover the access and use of buildings, “Building Regulations Part M 2004” and the NHBC recommendations. Ramps, steps and tactile paving will be reviewed in detail along with examples of good and bad product selection. The presentation will also consider how the good design of access and mobility can be incorporated sympathetically into the public realm whilst putting the end user first.

Good and Bad Detailing

The CPD will cover manufacturing tolerances, British Standards and tests for concrete block paving, flags and kerbs. Installation and Design standards will be reviewed along with general pavement construction. The appropriate selection of pavement materials and their loading capabilities will be discussed and examples of good and bad detailing will be demonstrated.  The CPD will leave the attendee with the ability to select the correct paving product for the intended application.
