Jointly organized by:
Building and Construction Authority and Singapore Concrete Institute.
Sponsored by WAK Technologies Pte Ltd
This is a two days training course in best practice in control and use of concrete.
Synopsis
More concrete is produced and used than any other construction material. It is therefore an economic necessity for concrete to be reliable and durable. Made from such ordinary materials, the technology of cement and concrete is incongruously complex, possessing an ability to produce completed buildings and structures over a wide range of quality and integrity. This two-day course provides an appreciation of the highest principles of concrete technology and best construction practices that are essential for the achievement of successful concrete projects.
Speaker Profile
Both tutors are corporate members of the Institute of Concrete Technology, having acquired many years depth of experience in materials technology, concrete production, construction management, training and education.
Tony Binns has had a long career specialising in the technology, construction and production of concrete. Many years were spent working in the production and quality control of aggregates and ready-mixed concrete, followed by service in the Training Directorate of the Cement & Concrete Association in the UK, Then as senior scientific engineer for an international construction company. He has been engaged in worldwide projects including offshore oil installations and is now in private practice as a consultant, providing educational and technical support to organisations with concrete orientated interests. He is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development and a Corporate Member of the Institute of Concrete Technology, of which he is Chairman of the Technical and Education Committee.
Jeff Dudden has had a long career specialising in the technology, construction, production and certification of construction materials. Many years were spent working in the production, quality control, technical quality and environmental management of aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, pre cast concrete and asphalts, followed by an international assessment role within a global certification body. He is now in private practice as a consultant, providing educational, management, auditing and technical support to commercial organisations and certification bodies. He is Corporate Member of the Institute of Concrete Technology, of which he undertakes a role of examiner.

Jointly organized by:
Building and Construction Authority and Singapore Concrete Institute.
Sponsored by WAK Technologies Pte Ltd
This is a one day training course covering the principles of quality management for ready-mix concrete production.
Synopsis
High Performance Concrete offers many opportunities to cast bespoke structures, however; at the point of casting, key physical and durability properties generally remain unknown. Problems are often only discovered on completion of testing of the hardened concrete perhaps twenty days later. This one day course commences with an overview of the problem and existing quality assurance schemes for the control of ready-mixed concrete. The potential fore reducing this risk of non-conforming concrete and the key requirements and controls necessary for products certification are then covered. Finally a workshop will allow delegates to improve their knowledge and understanding through a series of tutorial and casestudies.
