The seminar will discuss the predictive approach to maintenance (PdM) and its benefits. Common PdM monitoring and measuring methods such as infrared thermography scanning, vibration analysis, ultrasonic testing, electrical measurement, power quality, insulation/ground resistance measurements will be addressed. Our speakers will share their personal experiences in the successful deployments of power quality and PdM test tools. The case studies include scanning electrical, mechanical and HVAC systems that revealed overloaded or imbalanced circuits, high resistance connections, overheating motors on HVAC equipment, malfunctioning steam traps and a host of conditions that might signal an inefficient use of energy. Other subjects include the cause and effect of poor power quality and the impacts they can have on equipment reliability.

SynopsisTekla has launched its new A&D solution Tekla Structural Designer (TSD).TSD is built with BIM in mind, using the latest platform and technology and developed by the same team who brought you Orion and Fastrak. Its revolutionary analysis and design capability is aimed to help engineers cope with demanding and increased scope of work locally and regionally. TSD brings productivity, value engineering and change management into analysis, design and detailing of multi-material structures all within one interface. You only need to be trained once.Coupled with the newly released version of Tekla Open BIM solution Tekla Structures R21.0, engineers can experience great ease in collaborating with multiple stakeholders in the project with BIM.ObjectivesProvide an in-depth understanding of TSD capability and value proposition to C&S Engineers in the hopes of providing a special TEKLA - ACES BIM package to reduce initial investment cost for new and returning customers.CPD: 3 PDUs qualified by PE Board

FINAL CALL! REGISTRATION BY 2 JUL 2015!workshop introduces the concepts and principles of steel building design, before explaining in detail the methods employed by Eurocode 3 for designing members in bending, compression and tension. Load combinations, bracing and ties, frame stability, trusses, portal frames, multi-storey buildings, long span plate girders and bolted and welded connections are also covered. The design methods are illustrated through worked examples. Recognising the current transition from BS 5950 to the Eurocodes, the course will highlight the similarities and major differences between the two codes, but it will not assume any prior knowledge of either code.CPD: 14 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 12 STUs (for RE & RTO)

LAST CALL, REGISTRATION BY 20 JUL 2015!Course Synopsis With EuroCode implementation and the new Singapore Standards SS EN 206-1 (Concrete Specification, performance, production and conformity) and SS 544 (Concrete Complementary Singapore Standard to SS EN 206-1), method for specifying concrete has been changed from previous Singapore Standards SS289. This seminar will introduce the concepts and requirements for specifying different types of concrete. Sustainability in the construction industry will remain a pipe-dream unless design for specified durable service life is the basis for all future construction. The presentation will also emphasise the durability and sustainability factor when specifying concrete. This course also explains the requirements on identity tests for indicating whether the defined volume of concrete under review belongs to the same population as that verified as confirming.CPD: 7 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 6 STUs (for RE & RTO)

Course SynopsisThe Building and Construction Authority has introduced the Euro codes as Singapores building code on 1 April 2015. With our origin and extensive network in Europe, VSL would like to share with our valued industry partners our work experience designing to the Euro codes. Post-tensioned concrete design in building works will be discussed and worked examples illustrated, where appropriate. ObjectivesDesign specifics, detailing of post-tensioning works and relevant hard wares to comply with Euro codes will be high-lighted. An example of a warehouse floor design comparing BS 8110 & EC2 will be briefly discussed.The SpeakersEr. Max Meyer, Group Technical Officer VSL InternationalCPD: 3 PDUs qualified by PE Board

The WSH (Design for Safety) Regulations was enacted on 10th July 2015. It will be effective from 1st Aug 2016 and requires stakeholders (i.e. Developers, Designers and Contractors) to work together with the common objective to address the risk at source.With this DfS Introduction Course, participant will understand the roles of responsibilities of stakeholders involving in the Design for Safety review process.CPD: 4PDUs by PE Board; 4STUs (for M&E RE/RTO); 2 STUs (Safety) for C&S RE/RTO

REGISTRATION BY 26 AUG 2016!SYNOPSIS: To prepare local structural engineering practitioners for the adoption of the Eurocodes in the design of reinforced concrete building structures, this 2-day workshop will approach the design of concrete building structures using Eurocodes in a comparison with BS 8110, which has been a familiar code of practice in Singapore. The workshop will contain lectures as well as hands-on tutorial sessions to provide participants with practical design experience.CPD: 14 PDUs qualified by PE Board; 12 STUs (for RE & RTO)

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel on the design of earth-retaining walls and ground anchors particularly to Eurocode 7 in Singapore.

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel for the understanding and adoption of the Eurocode 7 in Singapore.

This course is organised to prepare civil, structural and geotechnical engineering practitioners, ground investigation and testing laboratories, builders and supervisory personnel on the design of spread and axially loaded pile foundations particularly to Eurocode 7 in Singapore. The participants will be able to: (1) Appreciate and understand the design approach of foundations based on Eurocode 7 and its National Annexes; (2) Understand the use of Eurocode 7 on design and construction considerations for spread and axially loaded pile foundations; and (3) Understand the execution and testing requirements relating to foundations
