Fibre reinforcement to plasters – problems associated with natural hair and alternative fibres, natural and synthetic.
2022-04-06 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, via Zoom, United Kingdom
Mortar analysis
Tom Balch, Rose of Jericho
Animal hair has been added to strengthen and reduce shrinkage in lime plasters for centuries. This reinforcement is particularly important when applying basecoat plaster to laths (especially ceiling laths) as it reinforces and strengthens the crucially important nibs from which the ceiling plaster ‘hangs’. The first ‘pricking-up’ coat traditionally contains hair reinforcement at a rate of at least 8kgs/m3 (c.4kgs/tonne). Subsequent coats to lathwork and all coats to solid backgrounds normally have hair added at the reduced rate of 5kgs/m3 (c.2.5kgs/tonne).
Hay and straw were sometimes used as alternatives, but the vast majority of traditional basecoat plasters were reinforced with animal body hair from horse, cow, pig or goat. When examining dry historic plaster it is normal to find hair reinforcement present and apparently in good condition. However, recent analytical work is suggesting that some degradation and loss of tensile strength can occur over time.
This degradation appears to occur more rapidly in currently available animal hair. The vast majority of animal hair is now imported in neat bundles from countries where anthrax is a problem, and the hair is cleaned and sterilised in the country of origin to ensure any bacteria spores are destroyed. This treatment, which can include boiling and/or steam treating, appears to decrease the resistance to degradation and reduce the durability of the hair in the alkali lime environment. It is thought the protective keratin proteins and natural oils in the animal hair are depleted during the sterilisation treatment.

Insolvency Recovery Planning
2022-06-30 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, via Zoom, United Kingdom
Insolvency recovery planning
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.

They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.

Insolvency recovery planning
2022-10-06 17:00 - 18:00
Insolvency recovery planning

The insolvency of a Principal Contractor or a key supply-chain partner part-way through a project can have devasting consequences. An insolvency event can result in significant financial losses, build quality issues, and widespread delays and disruption.
Many of these issues can be mitigated by effective planning and ensuring that the protection measures will perform as expected.
What is an Insolvency Recovery Plan?
An Insolvency Recovery Plan provides a structured template to pre-plan for an insolvency event. The plans act like a ‘lifeboat drill’ to ensure that the protection measures are adequate – and that everyone in the team knows how they work.
They can be prepared at any stage of a development project – it’s never too early or too late to instigate a recovery plan. They can be prepared prior to works commencing on site, during the course of the works – or even after an insolvency event has occurred.

Sustainable timber specification
2023-05-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Online via zoom, United Kingdom
The UK building industry consumes millions of tonnes of timber a year. Whilst in the past the sources of this timber were entirely unregulated, today greater awareness of the significant environmental damage thoughtless timber specification can cause has led to the introduction of many different certification schemes – some good, some not so good.
The speaker will demonstrate that experience has shown that just specifying ‘sustainable timber’ does not always lead to ‘sustainable timber’ being used.
The speaker is Charlie Law from PEFC, who has over 30 year’s experience in the construction sector and extensive industry knowledge having worked for BAM, Kier and Lendlease.
He is also Sustainability Director at Timber Development UK (TDUK) and a member of Grown in Britain Executive.
The session explains what schemes are available, and where they can go wrong and explores ways of designing out the risk of unsustainable timber being used in the first place.
We will also look at the use of timber in cladding. With timber being an increasingly popular choice as a sustainable material cladding we’ll explore the specific pitfalls associated with use.
