It is only limited by our knowledge, imagination and willingness to accept practical change. There is no obvious and available substitute and making the best use of the materials performance capability is in our own self- interest. Both materials and applicational aspects will be presented by those involved in these emerging changes. There will be opportunity to question and discuss current developments. The symposium will appeal and be relevant to both those that are interested in concrete’s versatility as well as those that make a livelihood from it. 08.30 REGISTRATION AND COFFEE 09.00 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 09.55 10.00 10.30 11.15 11.30 11.45 12.15 12.45 13.00 14.00 14.45 15.00 15.30 16.00 16.30 17.00 17.30 19.00 20.00 TECHNICAL SYMPOSIUM Professor Peter Hewlett Chairman’s- Introduction David Ball Group and University of Dundee The world’s first commercially available carbon negative Dr Paula Carey aggregate and its use Managing Director, Carbon8 System, UK Jeurg Schlumpf Developments in PCE Superplasticisers and their Head of Global Technology, Sika, and applications Andrew Bourne, Senior Area Sales Manager (Concrete), Sika UK Discussion Coffee Waste Not Want Not: Using waste to create a new material Martyn Fear - Woodcrete Director, Specialist Precast Products, UK Dispersible reinforcement – the effect of fibre geometry on Dr Wayne Thomas anchorage performance and integrity Managing Director, Co-tropic Ltd, UK Discussion Lunch Chris Stanley Sir Frederick Lea Memorial Lecture Technical Director, Unibeton Ready Mix, Concrete Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: A visual journey United Arab Emirates Discussion Tea Use of Calcium Aluminate Cements in biogenic Dr Francois Saucier environments Senior Business Manager, Kerneos, France Dr Ye Guang Superabsorbent polymers Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Richard Foord Sprayed Concrete Applications on Crossrail Project Manager Tunnelling, BASF, UK Discussion Chairman’s Summary and Close Drinks Reception Burleigh Court GALA DINNER: Raffle/awards/entertainment
