Brett Landscaping

This presentation looks at the principals on the installation of both bound and unbound paving construction for concrete, stone and porcelain paving. It provides guidance on the British Standards to be used, for installation, along with providing details on the benefits of each of the construction methods. By the end of the CPD you should have a greater understanding of: - What bound and unbound installation is - Installation Standards - The benefits of both bound and unbound installation - Good installation detailing - How to explain the exception to the rule This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

This seminar will: - Investigate the basic principles of Urban Design - Define how this influences the selection of hard landscaping products. - Illustrate these points with active case studies to support the above. - Outline compliance with British Standard 7533 – 3. - Provide the audience with further sources of information. This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

This CPD will provide the urban designer with an overview of the main material types available for the construction of pavements within urban areas along with the principle drivers within the specification process including: - Sustainability criteria of pavement design - Design considerations and current thinking - Review of the main material types and formats available - Case studies of two successful paving projects This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely

- Using open access design software for managing surface water runoff. - Understanding the need for Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in design. - Creating design suggestions which allow easy ‘what if’ scenario’s. - Evaluating the cost implications of differing SuDS options for a design. - Finding out more about the design standards around permeable paving.

This CPD will provide the designer with an overview of the main drivers within the specification process for when Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SUDS) are required as well as an understanding of the value of permeable paving within these schemes. SUDS will become increasingly frequent in the coming years following changes in planning guidance and future legislation. During the course of the seminar we will consider the following points: - Sustainability criteria of pavement design - Sustainable drainage - Permeable paving design - Permeable paving maintenance This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.

This CPD will provide the designer with an overview of the main drivers within the specification process for when specialist containment kerbs are required as well as an understanding of the correct way to integrate these into the design of urban highways to protect users where there is a risk of vehicles leaving the carriageway and potentially coming into contact with pedestrians and/or structures. During the course of the CPD we will consider the following points: - Sustainability - What containment kerbs work - Designing to incorporate containment kerbs as a passive safety feature This CPD can be delivered to you live and remotely.
