New specifications are being developed that raise performance and reduce risk - it is important that these are interpreted correctly.
Ensuring the quality and performance of concrete structures requires specifications that identify critical factors for performance.
Designers should also have an understanding of quality assurance documentation, while contractors and suppliers should know how to avoid early-age problems with concrete.
This half day seminar will cover new approaches to specifications, interpretation of quality assurance documentation and avoiding early-age problems. It will provide specifiers, suppliers and contractors with a clearer understanding of how to achieve better concrete structures.
