Seminar Brief:While structural safety of buildings in Singapore has been enhanced over the years, building failure during construction do occur from time to time. With land use being intensified, the structural system of buildings are becoming more complex, often involving multi-level of load transfer. The publication Buildings: What can go wrong is a compilation of past failures in projects within Singapore, some of which resulted in loss of life and property damage. A curated list of local cases from this book and some overseas cases will be shared during the seminar. As mistakes in design and construction are being repeated, it is imperative that we continuously learn from past events; and for these lessons to serve as a reminder to the industry as we strive for a safe Built Environment.

The webinar serves as a platform industry to gain better understanding & clarity on regulatory submission requirements for the combined BP/CD and ST/CS plans (effective 1 Jan 2023). This will help to streamline the submission process as well as reduce the efforts and touch points for both Architects and Engineers, leading to increased productivity and synergy.

The Seminar spotlights on emerging trends in jobs and skills, talent management and human capital strategies crucial for built environment firms to gear up for transformation, as well as exemplary case studies on best practices in human capital development.

As an urbanised city, our buildings play an important role in Singapore's sustainable development. The Seminar will showcase exemplary green building projects that had pushed the boundaries of environmental sustainability through thoughtful design, sustainable construction and operation.

Course SynopsisThe course provides an overview of computational Building Information Modelling (BIM) and how it is applied in Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) drafting and modelling processes. Revit Dynamo will be used for automation and optimisation of the MEP modelling processes.Course ObjectiveThis course will equip participants with essential Computational BIM Dynamo skills in MEP BIM design and documentation processes. Participants will learn how to create Dynamo scripts to interact with Revit elements, parameters, excel spread sheets and to automate the documentation and the design processes. Course Topics1. Dynamo Basics2. Managing Lists & Data3. Interacting with Revit Parameters4. Interacting with Excel5. Documentation Example6. Python Scripts for Dynamo

Singapore Standard SS EN 1992-4:2021 and its corresponding National Annex (NA) have been published and will be adopted as the prescribed standard on the design of fastenings for use in concrete. It has been included in the list of acceptable design standards in the Approved Document by BCA. The objectives of this workshop are to raise awareness and understanding among the engineers of this new standard, share the insights on how the code evolved from European Technical Approval Guideline and Technical Reports, and highlight the importance of carrying out proof load test for post-installed anchors to verify the quality of installation.

The Workplace Safety and Health (Design for Safety) Regulations 2015 came into operation on 1st August 2016. Besides the employment of a Design for Safety Professional, other personnel such as architects, engineers, designers involve in various engineering professions in the project are also required to eliminate or mitigate all foreseeable design risks to as low as reasonably practicable to any person affected by the project under the Regulations.

*updatedAnnouncement: Deadline for nominations extended. We are pleased to inform you that the nomination for Design and Engineering Safety Awards 2023 (DESA 2023) is extended to 26 April 2023. Please refer below for more details on your nomination.The BCA Design and Engineering Safety Award was launched in May 2008 to give recognition to the Qualified Person for Structural Works [QP(ST)], QP(ST)s firm and the project team for ingenious design processes and solutions in overcoming project challenges to ensure safety in design, construction and maintenance of building and civil engineering projects locally.In this year award, we will recognise all projects which satisfy the assessment criteria as stated in the brochure with Terms and conditions.For more information, please refer to BCA website:https://www1.bca.gov.sg/buildsg/bca-awards/design-engineering-safety-award-desa

The CORENET X project was initiated in 2018 with the objective to leverage technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and automation to transform the regulatory approval process for building works.CORENET X will be a One-Stop Integrated Digital Shopfront, targeted to be rolled out from end 2023.To ensure our regulatory information can be captures and exported to IFC, a localized set of IFC data requirements was developed, called IFC-SG.Based on the IFC-SG Resource Kit developed by GovTech, the Regulatory Agencies, and BIM software developers, 1-day IFC-SG Training had rolled out for Revit users since Aug 2022.This webinar aims to share more info and details of the upcoming training for Tekla users.Industry Training details are available at https://go.gov.sg/cxtraining
