What will I gain?

 

With speakers attending from across the world to share the lessons that they have learned from diagnosing failures in the

constructed environment, you will leave the event with a deeper understanding of:

  • How loss of life or serious injury can be prevented through good forensic engineering practice
  • How to prolong the life of facilities for better infrastructure value
  • How to build structures to better withstand natural and man-made disasters
  • The implications specific legislative requirements such as health and safety have for professionals 

 

What will I discuss?

 

At this high level meeting of the international forensic engineering community, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from,

put questions to, and share knowledge with speakers drawn from the wide forensic engineering spectrum. Comprising case studies,

technical assessments and significant networking opportunities, the conference will focus on key forensic engineering topics including:

  • Reviews of past failures and associated lessons
  • Examples of structural failure and collapse
  • Durability and assessment
  • Teaching forensic practice including investigation techniques
  • Avoiding failures for improved safety and business continuity
  • Occupation related issues such as fire
  • Legal and care considerations
  • Problems with ground and foundation movements
