An important element of our work as temporary works designers and demolition engineers is raising awareness of the role of temporary works within the construction industry and associated best practice.
As part of our commitment to this, we have developed and made available a vast array of temporary works and demolition engineering educational resources to the engineering community.
These include the following:
- Hosting regular CPD webinars
- Annotated temporary works flowchart (tailored to role)
- Downloadable temporary works design brief
- Offer in-company CPD sessions
- Guest lectures and talks
Temporary Works Webinar
Since April 2020, our team has hosted regular webinars focused on different elements of temporary works and demolition engineering.
Each webinar focuses on a specific element of temporary works or demolition engineering. It then reviews the key concepts related to the topic and relevant standards and guidance.
Webinars also include illustrative case studies to highlight key elements or common engineering challenges.
Recent webinar topics include
- Temporary Works Design Check Categories
- Demolition Engineering
- Basement Temporary Works
- Bridge Demolition
- Propping and Needling
Access to recordings – The recordings of these sessions are made available on our website and we have an extensive library of more than 50 previous webinars.
YouTube channel – we also have a dedicated YouTube channel that features the recordings as well as selected snippets that focus on specific case studies or engineering elements.
Email list – We have an email list that provides invites to upcoming webinars as well as additional resources as they are released.
Temporary Works Flowchart
Our Temporary Works Flowchart provides a step-by-step guide for construction professionals, including contractors, engineers, and project managers.
The original Temporary Works Procedures Flowchart was a PDF that was downloaded and used by hundreds of engineers and contractors to understand the role of Temporary Works in their projects.
Due to updates and the scope of BS 5975:2019, the flowchart was converted into an interactive website that is tailored to different roles: Principal Contractor, Managing Contractor and Subcontractor.
Temporary Works Design Brief Template
Our temporary works design brief template is designed to help create effective temporary works designs. This is the template we use internally and with clients to ensure we have all the information we need to create effective temporary works designs.
Key Features:
- Project Information
- Design Output
- Scope of Design
- Risk Assessment & Design Philosophy
- Categorised Design Checks
- Detailed Descriptions
- Additional Information
In-company CPD Sessions
Our team can offer in-house CPD sessions for construction and demolition contractors looking to build their engineers’ awareness of the different aspects of Temporary Works and demolition engineering.
These sessions can be delivered in person or via Zoom and tailored to the needs of the organisation and the key topics they would like to be covered.
Industry Talks and Webinars
Members of the Andun Engineering Consultants team are regularly invited to speak at industry CPD events, both in-person and online.
These are on a range of topics for a number of organisations including:
- Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
- Temporary Works Forum (TWf)
