Given the nature of most building and construction work, in particular increasingly its specialisation and the use of technically demanding and complex procedures, personnel such as designers, project managers, contractors, subcontractors and supervisory staff are all likely at serious risk of falling short and face with claims. This course is organised to prepare stake-holders including building owners, developers, builders, specialist builders, architects, engineers, project managers and such supervisory personnel as Qualified Persons, Site Supervisors, Resident Engineers and Resident Technical Officers on the understanding of liabilities and duties in regulatory, design, construction and supervision aspects of building and civil engineering works by glimpsing at some of the well-known decided cases.

The objective of the course is to impart knowledge to the participant on the causes, prevention, inspection and rectification of cracks in concrete. In particular, cracking in concrete is explained and the allowance of its formation in design is covered. Cracks formed arising from workmanship issues are also covered. Appropriate references will be made to the Singapore Standard SS EN 1992 series on Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures that allow cracks to form and possible ways of preventing cracking is also covered. Emphasis on how to assess the severity of the crack through a methodological approach is covered. Finally, various methods of rectification of the crack lines are covered including the appropriateness of the method to the type and nature of the crack being considered.

Singapore is currently, at a transitional and transformational stage for the Digital Revolution into a Smart Nation.With this Smart Nation drive, Azbil identifies the industrys need for innovative ideas and solutions to ensure growth and competitiveness.And within this drive to always remain competitive and always strive for continuous improvement, we will share Azbils latest advanced Building Solutions & Technologies.The key conversation and knowledge that we expect would be acquired here is the ability, the realization of how to harness these advanced technologies and exploit them to the commercial benefit of building owners.This would in regards, enhance Operational Capabilities as well as any working aspects of best Business Practices. Increased manpower efficiency through autonomous optimisation via Artificial Intelligence or (AI) or Big Data Analytics & Predictive Maintenance via Machine-learning or (ML).

The construction industry is important to Singapores economic growth, contributing nearly 5% of GDP in 2015. During construction, however, projects could pose a significant risk to environmental health, potentially causing noise pollution or the spread of infectious vector-borne diseases such as dengue and malaria. Construction practices that inadequately address these issues can have damaging implications, such as adversely affecting the health and well-being of workers on-site and neighbouring communities. A balance between operational and environmental concerns is therefore crucial to ensure that timely completion of projects does not come at the cost of endangering our health and environment. The scope of this course will cover foundational concepts relating to noise and vector-borne diseases, as well as key sources and health impacts relating to noise pollution and vector-borne diseases from construction sites. Management and control measures to address these concerns will also be discussed.

INTRODUCTIONAs Consultants, we are facing daily challenges of regulatory changes, keeping in pace with technology advancement, continual effort to improve efficiency in our works and ensuring core competency is always maintained as well as continual progression in learning from engineering challenges faced in the industry. ACES as a representative of practitioners is always looking for ways to keep our members well informed of the industry practices, advancements and changes via these seminars to meet the challenges above. OBJECTIVESOur target audience are Professional Engineers & Practitioners (QPDs QPSs), Engineers, RE/RTOs and Builders in the industry. The focus of this seminar is to provide a platform for sharing of innovative experience in line with productivity; share challenges in underground / infrastructure projects; and updates of regulatory requirements. In order to achieve this objective for the better of the industry, there will be speakers from Government Agencies, Consultants and Contractors to share the insights and experiences with the audiences.

In 2018, Singapore encountered 3,885 fire outbreaks, with an increase in fires in non-residential and non-building premises. Efficient, effective and early detection of fires via electrical fire alarm systems can save thousands of lives and properties. The revised SS 645:2019, formerly known as CP10, provides requirements on the installation and servicing of electrical fire alarm systems in buildings. It covers fire alarm systems using manual call points, heat detectors, smoke detectors, flame detectors and video image fire detectors.Given the destructive nature of fires, it is crucial for professional engineers, contractors and architects to understand

Civil Engineers are highly demanded in Singapore. In fact, Civil engineering is vital to Singapores drive to creating a better built environment and liveable city. The development of mega infrastructure projects as well as re-shaping Singapores city landscape will require highly qualified engineers trained in civil discipline. As we build higher and dig deeper underground, there is high prospects for Civil Engineers^ to design, plan, build, manage and oversee the development of infrastructure/building projects.This degree programme is designed to allow both GCE 'A' level and diploma graduates a pathway to pursue a rewarding career in the built environment.
