This seminar looks at the design principles and specification details and considerations for internal floor drainage. It will cover specific applications and care and maintenance and will help you to understand the following topics:- The defining characteristics and differences of floor gullies and floor channels and the differences between trapped and un-trapped gullies- Design principles, regulations and British Standards BS EN 1253, BS EN 1422 and BS EN 12056- Specification principles based on the two key issues, traffic environment and flow rates required- The different floor construction and finishes and how this affects specification- The different project applications and how this affects product specification

This CPD will take a detailed look into the design and specification of architectural aluminium products such as fascia, soffit, coping, window surrounds, door canopies, column casings and planters. Exploring system design, specification guidance, installation, mitigating risks, maintenance, and health and safety in design. All to ensure that the finished product is fit for purpose, aesthetically pleasing, safe, sustainable and stands the test of time.By the end of this CPD, delegates should:Understand the difference between recyclable and sustainable materials, gain knowledge on what materials are sustainable and fit for purpose.Have a better understanding of the fire rating requirements in this application and ability to specify products which will comply.Know the limitations and considerations when designing these products and understand the limitations of aluminium as a material.Be able to consider the installation of the products mentioned and how this will affect the design, longevity and health and safety aspects of the system and building.Have the ability to produce adequate care and maintenance advice to contractors and client if required, in order to ensure the system is safe, fit for purpose and appearance is maintained.This CPD is available as both a face to face and online seminar.
