Building On Contaminated Land
As you will know there have been some significant legislative changes in regards to how a structure is protected against gas since June 2015. As a company the A Proctor Group has been supplying gas membranes and venting systems since 1995. Due to changes in BS8485:2015 we have substantially updated our CPD offering.
- What are ground gases and why we protect against them
- Risk Assessment
- Installation, Integrity Testing & Validation
- Legislative changes
- Design
- Modelling of Ground Gas Ventilating Systems
Simplifying Airtightness In Modular Construction
This CPD will investigate the challenges of air leakage in modular construction and cover adjacent issues of moisture control and hygrothermal assessment, and the implications of air leakage strategies on both energy efficiency, and ‘as designed’ vs ‘as-built’ performance. The A. Proctor Group have worked with many offsite companies all over the world and will demonstrate case studies of successful projects. The presentation also covers fire spread and fire protection methods in façade construction, with a focus on the use of intumescent vapour permeable membranes.
- Hygrothermal Assessments, Dynamic vs Steady State methods.
- Heat, Air and Moisture movement in building and relevant building
- Mechanisms and effects of air leakage on building envelopes.
- Performance and location of membranes as air barriers in modular applications.
- Protecting modules during storage and transportation.
