Reuse of Foundations (RuFUS) – The Opportunities for Development
Event Information
Description
CGL invites you and your colleagues to our London office for a breakfast seminar on the Reuse of Foundations (RuFUS) on Thursday 15th November at 8.30am.
For nearly a decade prior to the introduction of the BRE RuFUS Framework in 2006 CGL had been recommending/designing reuse to clients. Reuse of existing pad foundations, reusing pile foundations or revising the foundation support strategy for building reuse can represent significant cost savings for developers. As urban development becomes more congested, reuse of foundations supports sustainability and future development potential as well as minimising usage of new materials.
The seminar will address the assessment of existing foundation system and the opportunities that sophisticated analysis can offer to save project costs, programme and environmental impact if the existing foundations can be fully or part utilised and remove the need for new foundations.
Speakers:
Richard Ball, Technical Director
Joseph Slattery, Principal Engineer
Doors will open from 8am and bacon baps, pastries and refreshments will be served. The presentations will be from 8.30-9.15, with time afterwards for questions/discussion.
CGL's offices at 12 Melcombe Place are set within Marylebone Station. You can enter from outside at street level or from the station concourse. Turn right after you go up the escalator from the tube and enter through the doorway to the right of Marks & Spencer.
