Why not start your day by joining Kiwa Building Products for a
breakfast briefing? Breakfast rolls and hot refreshments will be on
offer for all delegates as the Kiwa team talk you through the legal
requirements for product and system manufacturers in the UK,
along with additional market led requirements, and explore the
best routes for manufacturers looking to maximise the confidence
in their products and reach the biggest market.
Essential sessions for architects include sessions from Technical
Consultant John Mercer and Dr Ronan Brunton, Technical Manager,
Single Ply Roofing Association (SPRA). John Mercer will explain how
you can design and construct pitched roofs to ensure they remain
watertight and durable by using techniques and materials that add
very little to the overall build cost of the roof. With safety factors
being paramount in the design stage, Dr Ronan Brunton will detail
SPRA’s new wind load protocol and how to determine and apply the
correct factor of safety during the calculation process.
Further highlights on day one include the Scaffolding Association
providing a best practise guide to commissioning scaffolding, Janice
Tyler of Briggs Amasco will demonstrate how the roofing industry
can mitigate the effects it has on climate change and Vivalda
Chairman, Peter Johnson will discuss managing through tough times
– Austerity, Grenfell and Brexit.
If you are interested in discovering what the future of building and
infrastructure design, manufacture, integration and connectivity
within our built environment could entail, then be sure to join us for
the opening keynote of day two. Trudi Sully from The Manufacturing
Technology Centre and the Construction Innovation Hub will lead
