Ian Abley's Presentation to Norfolk and Suffolk IFE Branch on 8 February Really looking forward to hearing an undoubted expert give an unbiased assessment of where we are with the 'Class O Conundrum'. 8th February 2024 3.30pm This is a double session starting at the slightly earlier time of 3.30pm, and ending 5.30 pm. This seminar has been approved for 2 hours IFE CPD Points ** the talk will start promptly at 3.30pm. Please join a minute or two early if you can** Summary: Class 0 was said to be the highest national performance classification for construction materials and products, such as in external walls, until the fatal fire of Grenfell Tower on 14 June 2017. Despite a warning about the potential combustibility of Class 0 “cladding” products from the Select Committee to the Ministry publishing statutory guidance after Garnock Court fire on 11 June 1999. Class 0 was defined in the statutory guidance of Approved Document Part B and not in any British Standard. When Grenfell Tower Inquiry finally reports by June 2024 it will be seven years since 72 deaths. That was an unnecessary and high price for British society to discover that Class 0 could in fact be achieved by composite products with highly combustible cores. This webinar explains the Class 0 Conundrum using the evidence in a continuing process of disclosure, which led to Inquiry publication in 2022 of the Research on the Approved Document And Revision (RADAR) project, undertaken with construction industry partners in 2000.

Week 1 Foundation Installation - The initial stage of a construction project involves laying down foundations, which play a crucial role in ensuring the stability and longevity of the building. Properly executed foundations are essential for the durability of the building; any shortcomings during this phase may compromise the building's strength and ability to withstand various challenges in the future.
