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.

Conferred by the University of Florida : Tremendous growth in the international construction market has created opportunities for companies to engage in businesses across the international frontiers. With increasing complexities and demands for higher construction productivity, an effective management of construction resources must be integrated with technology, people and processes. This Master of International Construction Management with major in Construction Productivity degree is designed to enable working professionals to expand their skills in managing construction projects in international market, and develop competencies in the latest construction productivity methodologies. The program is intended for the working professionals who are making vital decisions about the businesses and have potential be future leaders that will bring the built environment sector to a higher level of excellence.

Learners of this course will gain the knowledge and skills for fulfilling the roles of the construction Design for Safety Professional (DfS Professional) in accordance with the WSH (DfS) Regulations effective from 1 August 2016. Upon completion of this unit, Learners will have the skills and knowledge to function as a DfS Professional which purposes to: (1) Assist the Developer to identify and address means to eliminate or mitigate the risks inherent in the design of a construction project through conducting DfS review meetings and maintaining a DfS register so as to reduce the safety and health risks during the construction, maintenance / repair phase, and demolition of the building and structure; and (2)Coordinate the flow of the construction project safety and health risks information among the stakeholders from the design stage, to construction stage until the handover to the Developer for occupation and maintenance.The skill and knowledge learnt during this course are likely to be applied in the following activities: (1) Facilitate DfS Review Meeting that involves the relevant stakeholders to identify and address safety and health risks associated with construction project. (2) Maintain records of safety and health issues arising from the DfS Review Meeting and actions taken. (3) Coordinate the flow of relevant safety and health information among all stakeholders of a construction project at appropriate time.

In August 2019, Singapore will host the World Engineers Summit 2019 Engineering Future Cities Harnessing and Managing Technologies to Improve Quality of Life. The fourth biennial conference will continue to champion engineering-led discussions on sustainable urban development harnessing and managing today modern world technologies to improve quality of life, to deliver depth and breadth to conference delegates.

Whilst the ideal of adopting a zero-waste approach, on grounds of sustainable construction, is well understood, to achieve it in practice can be challenging. A great deal of research has been undertaken worldwide on recycled aggregates and their use in construction and the standards/codes are slowly becoming more receptive.However, just as in the case of natural aggregates, it is important to understand how best to develop the use of recycled aggregates. Based on the vast amount of information, collated from over 1400 publications originating globally from over 65 countries, analysed and evaluated, and presented in over 600 print pages in a book form, this workshop aims to discuss the production, characteristics and use of recycled aggregates in mortar, concrete, geotechnics and road pavements. In addition, environmental impact arising from the use of the materials will be addressed.References will be made to the related standards and codes, as well as case studies undertaken using recycled aggregates. The book, used as course notes, is structured in an incisive and easy to digest manner and is particularly suited for aggregate suppliers, ready-mixed concrete producers, design engineers, specifiers, contractors, as well as academics and researchers.
