A seminar explaining a new timber quality standard will be held in Dublin next week.
Delegates from the construction industry are invited to attend the 'A New Standard for Timber Frame - IS440 Explained' event at the Radisson SAS Hotel, Dublin Airport on Wednesday 23 September.
IS440, a new Irish industrial standard for timber frame construction, was published by the National Standards Authority of Ireland at the end of May.
The standard specifies all requirements which must be adhered to for materials, design, manufacture, construction details, site work and quality control and will become the essential reference point for anyone involved in designing, specifying, manufacturing or building in timber frame.
The seminar, which will explain IS440 in more detail, will be of particular interest to architects, engineers, local authorities, builders, developers, timber fame manufacturers and anyone with an interest in modern methods of construction, say organisers.
Speakers will include Gary Treanor, Director - Product & Business Development, Kingspan Century; Peter de Lacy Staunton, Technical Director, IJM Timber Engineering; Tim Kelly, Principal, Tim Kelly Consulting Engineers; and David Murray, Timber Frame & Energy Consultant.
