Lunch and learn webinar: temporary works in construction

Overview

Temporary works are a fundamental requirement on almost every construction site. They enable contractors to build the main works.

The importance of managing temporary works effectively was highlighted following a number of historic failures. You may have heard of one of the most notable examples when falsework collapsed at London Bridge in Reading in 1972.

As a result, the Bragg Report was published which set out recommendations for the technical, procedural and competencies that form the way we still manage temporary works today.

This temporary works CPD webinar is aimed at civil engineers and construction professionals to raise awareness of the role of temporary works in construction.

It will provide:

• The definition and scope of temporary works
• Historical failures and lessons learned
• Key roles including temporary works coordinator, designated individual and temporary works designer
• Categorisation of risk and the Temporary Works Register
• Examples of constructed temporary works for the A30 Chiverton to Carland Cross Scheme in Cornwall

This online presentation is part of a new series of lunchtime webinars from ICE South West with speakers and examples from across the region.
