Through this course, participants will learn the strategies to build up proactive relationship, manage conflicts and achieve effective resolution in workplace. Case studies will be shared to enhance participants learning.

Challenges in the deep foundation construction such as deep socketing in hard rock, boulder formation, limestone cavity, increasing need to construct deeper and deeper pile etc, are not uncommon in Singapore. Many of such challenges could be overcome by advances and new technologies developed over the past few years. This technical seminar aims to provide the industry with firsthand information from the experts of invited piling machine manufacturers. This seminar also aims to educate our industry with the state-of-the-art piling technologies that is available to meet the objective of increased productivity, enhanced safety and meeting high standard required for more and more challenging projects. www.cma.sg/e/geosspiling

BCA strongly encourages the use of new and innovative technology for improved productivity. To accelerate adoption of such technology, there is an urgent need to get the industry to be familiarised with some of productive construction methodologies adopted overseas. One such example is the Form Prefab Steel Reinforced Concrete (F-PSRC) column system, developed by SEN Engineering Group in Korea. The F-PSRC column system has been successfully applied in over 50 projects in Korea. Hence, it is essential for the industry to learn more on how F-PSRC column system practices and design is able to shorten our construction period.

To inspire, promote and provide public recognition for sustainable landscapes, the Building and Construction Authority and the National Parks Board jointly developed the Green Mark for Parks Certification scheme. This scheme provides quantitative standards and comprehensive assessment system to evaluate the sustainability of parks. This course provides insight into the fundamentals and guiding principles of sustainable landscape design and construction, which underpin the Green Mark for Parks scheme. It aims to enable the participants to gain in-depth understanding of the requirements of Green Mark for Parks Certification scheme, including the various key indicators, measures and assessment criteria.

Temporary low voltage electrical installations are widely used in construction and building sites; trade-fairs, mini-fairs and exhibition sites as well as for festive lightings.Designers and engineers need to have deep knowledge on the good practice and guidelines for the inspection, testing and maintenance of such installations, in compliance with the code of practice.

Building Services engineering brings a building to life, have a profound impact on different aspects of building performance such as end-user satisfaction, environmental impact, maintenance and utilities cost, as well as business continuity. In the modern built environment, clients require their projects to be delivered on time and within budget. Clients also want assets to be operationally-ready at handover, facilities that perform to suit their required function and buildings with high levels of performance over the long-term. A correctly executed commissioning process for Building Services is crucial to achieving these outcomes. This course will discuss the different Building Services in projects, what the commissioning process is, why it is important and how the commissioning process could be executed at each stage of project delivery. Prefabricated Building Services elements for improved productivity will also be shared.
