Temporary Works
Plan and control the temporary works needed for construction.
Why this subject matters
A support arrangement is only useful when its design assumptions match the construction sequence and site conditions. This course will follow that relationship through planning, checking and implementation.
Who it is for
Civil, structural and construction engineers, including those taking on temporary-works responsibilities and mentors supporting them.
This is a planned outline. The lessons are not yet available.
