Structural Concrete Alliance holds its first Practical Demonstration Day

The Structural Concrete Alliance is to hold its first Practical Demonstration Day at The Vinci Technology Centre, Leighton Buzzard on Wednesday, 21 September 2016.

This free CPD event is designed to provide delegates with an opportunity to meet the professionals first hand and witness interactive demonstrations of key repair, protection, strengthening and sprayed concrete techniques. 

Following an initial welcome and introduction delegates will be divided into groups to visit four separate demonstration stations. Each station will feature live displays highlighting the key preparation, skills and techniques involved in: Concrete Repairs; Carbon Fibre Strengthening; Concrete Testing; and Cathodic Protection and Monitoring Systems.  

Delegates will also be given an opportunity to discuss their queries with members of the Corrosion Prevention Association (CPA), Concrete Repair Association (CRA) and Sprayed Concrete Association (SCA) who will be exhibiting at the event. 

A tour of the extensive test facilities at the Vinci Technology Centre will be available for interested delegates, while lunch and refreshments will be on offer within the Centre’s Crossrail area; an impressive full scale architectural model of a Crossrail station.  

The day will begin with registration at 9am, and is scheduled to close at 3pm, with live demonstration sessions taking place throughout the morning and afternoon.
