Civil / Structural

This one-day workshop is designed for engineers who are involved with the mechanical and structural seismic design of pressure equipment. The workshop will have an emphasis on mechanical items such as pressure equipment (including pipe work) covered by the Pressure Equipment (PECPR) Regulations.

Recently updated to reflect current practice, this course will provide an overview of the use of producer statements both for Building Consent and for other regulatory purposes. It will also cover other building consent related issues including responsibilities and liabilities.

This introductory course will provide an overview of modern stormwater management and some practical applications of design associated with it. The course will also highlight some of the common traps practitioners fall into.

This course introduces the principles of urban stormwater treatment. Learn about a range of stormwater treatment practices and consider their advantages and disadvantages for different applications.

This course explores the practical applications of the role and responsibilities of the Engineer to the Contract and the Engineer’s Representative under NZS 3910 Conditions of Contract for building and civil engineering works.

An introduction or refresher to NZS 3910 Conditions of Contract for building and civil engineering works. This course covers the structure of NZS 3910, procurement considerations, and explores the roles and responsibilities of the Engineer to the Contract, Engineer’s Representative, Principal and Contractor.

This course looks at factors attributing to the safe design, construction, use, maintenance and removal of temporary works. Useful to engineers and managers working in the construction sector, the course will cover New Zealand Law, industry good practice, procedural control, basic design theory, and awareness modules for each of the most common forms of temporary works. Please scroll down for more information.

Much of the work done by engineers involves managing, reading and even drafting contracts. In this course we introduce the principles that regulate contractual relationships, with a focus on construction and engineering contracts.

Co-presented by a Barrister and Building Surveyor, this course will develop your ability to express your expert opinion in a confident and competent manner, understanding the status, obligations, and legal and ethical requirements of an expert.

This live online course covers the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, and will provide a sound grounding in HSWA duties and responsibilities. The course covers both general duties on PCBUs and upstream duties on those carrying out design, manufacture or importing.

This live online course will introduce the general concepts for retention systems for basement construction (e.g. sheet piles, secant piles, diaphragm wall, lateral support systems, etc.). This course is a slightly reduced version of the face-to-face course ‘Basements & ground retention systems’.

Risk is a universal phenomenon that affects all people in all activities that they may undertake. This course introduces a structured approach for the identification, planning, treatment and management of risk in an engineering context. Delegates will learn a structured approach to the risk management process.

The course will introduce the fundamental principles and some well-established methods of pile design and analysis of single piles and some of them can be applied without the use of complex computer software. The course content will cover the most relevant aspects of pile design for single piles (e.g. axial, lateral, down drag, rock sockets). We will also discuss some practical examples and case studies to demonstrate the ‘real world’ applications of the course content.

This course introduces the principles of urban stormwater treatment. Learn about a range of stormwater treatment practices and consider their advantages and disadvantages for different applications.

Many practitioners who have to manage projects have never been formally exposed to a structured “big picture” of project management. This course aims to present a structured and coherent way of accepted best practice principles used to define, plan and execute projects.

Risk is a universal phenomenon that affects all people in all activities that they may undertake. This course introduces a structured approach for the identification, planning, treatment and management of risk in an engineering context. Delegates will learn a structured approach to the risk management process.

Our new Producer Statements and supplementary documents will significantly improve quality assurance and administrative processes for engineers and BCAs. Online forms will allow for real-time updates, cross-population of fields and consistency across authorities – for better and faster consenting processes. Our documents are in draft and we want you feedback.

This course provides you with an introduction to NZS 3916:2013 Conditions of Contract for building and civil engineering works – Design and Construct (NZS3916). Useful for engineers, contractors and designers, this course will cover how you can use NZS-3916 to greatest effect. This is offered as a 4-hour live online course.
