ABOUT THE SEMINAR

PROGRAM

Local government uses concrete to construct various assets including footpaths, cycle ways, kerbs and gutters, pavements for high traffi c areas, roundabouts, intersections, parking areas and stormwater drainage systems. Appropriate design methods and construction techniques are essential to the successful procurement of local government infrastructure. Proactive maintenance practices and systems ensure that assets serve the needs of the community over a long period of time.

CCAA, IPWEA and NATSPEC organised this seminar to raise awareness of issues in the design, construction and maintenance of concrete infrastructure and the benefi ts of harmonisation of concrete specifi cations across local government. Topics will include techniques for material design, supply, placing, formwork, compaction, joints and curing of concrete. The importance of correct specifi cation and the use of AUS-SPEC local government specifi cations for the life cycle management of these assets will also be covered. Participants will have a chance to discuss these topics in detail with industry experts.

This seminar is for council engineers, specifi ers, contractors, suppliers and others engaged in the design, construction and maintenance of local government concrete assets.
