All engineers involved with construction should be aware of the increasing importance of low-carbon offsite manufacture and modern methods of construction (MMC).

Dr Hairstans will discuss developments in environmentally sound, offsite manufacture. This will cover new timber products and systems including solid laminate timber, dowel-lam, nail-lam and cross-laminated timber.

Iain will present a local civil engineering perspective based on inspection and strengthening of Jubilee Quay in the port of Sunderland.  While all ironwork had corroded away, the main timbers within reach of the water were generally sound.  Much of the deck needed replacement.

With rising tuition fees, national apprenticeship schemes, elections promises and widening skills gaps, who should be paying for the education of our young people? Is it companies, student debts, parents or the government?

We invite all those who are interested to discuss how we should be funding the future of UK higher education.

Join the discussion, chaired by Dr. Caspar Hewett (The Great Debate);

All are welcome to join us in the bar afterwards to continue the debate.

We are giving our G&S members the opportunity to visit one of the highest profile construction projects in the North East. The site visit, in conjunction with IStructE Northern Counties Young members Group, will include a presentation from ICE G&S Committee member and Farrans Site Engineer Amy Wright followed by a guided tour of the site. This is a great opportunity to see a large scale civil engineering project in the heart of the region.

There will be two site visits starting at 2pm and 4pm with limited spaces available for both sessions. If bookings are closed due to the maximum number of visitors being reached please email katy.obrien@ice.org.uk and she will place you on a waiting list. Due to the limited numbers available for each session we ask that if you have to withdraw from the site visit for any reason please contact Katy O’Brien so your place can be reassigned.

We ask people to arrive a minimum of 15 minutes prior to the start time to ensure we get as much time as possible on site. All attendees will have to bring their own PPE with the site minimum PPE standards including high visibility jacket, steel toe capped boots, hard hat, safety gloves and safety glasses. Farrans retain the right to deny access to their site to anyone who does not have the appropriate PPE.
