The specific objectives of Module 1 on Corrosion of Steel in Concrete and Concrete Defects are to familiarize the participants with how corrosion of steel reinforcement occurs in concrete. Participants will also understand other types of concrete defects and how to reduce the formation of these defects.The specific objectives of Module 2 on Structural Inspection and Repair Techniques are to familiarize the participants with the common repair and strengthening methods for concrete structures with defects. Participants will also understand the procedure for structural investigation and effects of fires on reinforced concrete structures.

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. The programme also discusses safety management systems and safely audits and how to report and investigate accidents related to site activities. The programme will include safety management systems as prescribed in the Singapore Standards SS 506 series on Occupational safety and health (OSH) and CP 79

This webinar will provide an introduction to new Singapore Standards on Glazing in buildings Safety related to human impact (SS 653: 2020) and Curtain walls (SS 654 : 2020). Glazed elements in and around buildings may be subject to human impact, which could result in injury to the public and/or damage to finishes or other parts of the building. SS 653 provides the requirements to designers and installers of such glazed components on the materials and techniques to adopt in order to minimise the risk of injury to the public. This standard serves as a reference for the specification of glazed elements that may be subject to human impact. SS 654 specifies the materials and performance standards for metal-framed curtain walls and requirements for good practices in the design and installation of a curtain wall system. The performance standard includes tests for air permeability, water-tightness and structural performance. This webinar also highlights the major changes that are incorporated into this new standard compared with the previous SS 381 and CP 96.
