To prepare site personnel to become aware of the importance of details during scaffold erection, use and dismantling, in relation to proper documentation of SWPs, incidents, etc. and direct and continuous monitoring of scaffolds and workers on them

Safety in construction sites is of paramount importance not only to protect oneself but also to ensure safety for fellow personnel on site. This programme is for stakeholders in construction projects (Resident Engineers, Resident Technical Officers, Site Supervisor etc) and it explains the concepts related to risk management & control which can be applied to activities on construction site. Participants can apply the risk management & control concepts to create a safer workplace for themselves and their fellow site personnel. They will have an appreciation of how safety management systems and audits can be set up and how it can improve safety on site. They can also systematically investigate accident related to site activities and file reports to allow subsequent review and improvement.

The course covers the basic principles to handling and treatment of reinforcement and starter bars on site to prevent future corrosion problems. It also shares the salient issues when considering alternative protection of reinforcement under extremely harsh environment. It is useful for the Resident Engineer (RE) and Resident Technical Officer (RTO) to have knowledge of proper handling and treatment of reinforcement on site and understand the possible issues when considering other ways to protect reinforcement against future corrosion.

This is a 2-part programme comprising (Part 1) Preliminary design of high-rise buildings and (Part 2) Introduction to seismic design. The programme aims to allow participants to understand the importance that Structural needs to be addressed at the preliminary design stage of the project and to know the effect of distant earthquakes on buildings in Singapore.

This is an intensive one-day course on the design of beams and slabs for use in buildings. Both pre-tensioning and post-tensioning are discussed.

The objective of the course is to impart knowledge to the participant on the causes, prevention, inspection and rectification of cracks in concrete. In particular, cracking in concrete is explained and the allowance of its formation in design is covered. Cracks formed arising from workmanship issues are also covered. Appropriate references will be made to the Singapore Standard SS EN 1992 series on Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures that allow cracks to form and possible ways of preventing cracking is also covered. Emphasis on how to assess the severity of the crack through a methodological approach is covered. Finally, various methods of rectification of the crack lines are covered including the appropriateness of the method to the type and nature of the crack being considered.

This preparatory course is aimed to help applicants in their preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination for Civil Engineering by providing revision of all the topics stipulated.

Building envelopes have repeatedly been in the limelight over the past few months as a result of multiple failure events involving material defects, fire performance issue or poor workmanship. The Institution of Engineers, Singapore is organising a seminar on faade engineering. The intention of this seminar is to raise the awareness of participants in the various facets of faade engineering. This seminar is addressed to professional engineers, IES members and any other engineers with an interest in gaining a greater understanding of faade engineering. Topics covered will include the engineering of aluminium, glass, fire performance, and anchoring technology.

SS 631 specifies minimum performance requirements for unpainted and prepainted metal products intended to be fabricated for use in the building industry in exterior applications such as roofing, wall cladding, soffits and awnings. It covers the use of galvanized, zinc/aluminium, prepainted profile in steel and aluminium. It is intended to be read in conjunction with manufacturers technical product literature. It provides guidelines, information and recommendations to the specifier and end user on the design, performance, installation, transportation and handling of metalroofing material.SS 637 covers systems commonly used for waterproofing of reinforcedconcrete buildings. It contains sections of waterproofing of basement, floor,wall, roof and precast concrete elements. It provides guidance on waterproofing against with or without hydrostatic pressure and against moisture from the ground.
