SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Design and Construction of Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Retaining Structures
DESCRIPTION:The design\, construction and long-term stability monitoring of MSE walls continues to evolve as designers\, researchers and specifiers push the leading edge of the technology and use more advanced geosynthetic materials and systems. \nAt present\, MSE walls represent more than half of all retaining walls used for transportation applications. MSE walls can offer some fairly significant advantages for the construction of transportation infrastructure. They are used to reduce or eliminate the need for the improvement of poor foundations where piles\, caissons or other soils stabilization techniques would be required for the use of conventional reinforced concrete retaining walls. They are most commonly used as cost-effective solutions where the cost of fill\, right-of-way or other restrictions require a steeper slope than is practically possible. \nThere are many type of MSE wall types categorized by the geometry of the reinforcement\, mechanism used to transfer stress\, the type of reinforcement material (metallic or non-metallic) and the type and geometry of the wall facing. \nThis webinar provides a basic understanding of the type of MSE walls\, their primary uses\, key factors in their design and lessons learned from construction. A series of case studies provides the “good” the “bad” and the “ugly” experiences with the use of MSE walls along with key lessons learned for their long-term success. \nThe learning objectives for this webinar include: \nRecognize potential MSE wall applications for transportation facilities\nUnderstand the primary design considerations and select appropriate parameters for design\nTo be able to check contractor submitted designs for MSE walls\nSelect appropriate specification and contracting methods\nIdentify appropriate construction inspection activities to confirm compliance with design \nInstructor: David K.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: The Nuts and Bolts of Builders’ Liens
DESCRIPTION:It is essential for anyone working in or closely with the construction industry to have a basic understanding of builders liens as they are increasingly being used as a form of security to contractors\, subcontractors\, workers and suppliers who supply labour and/or materials in relation to the construction of an improvement on or to land.  However\, builders’ liens do not necessarily guarantee recovery in full or at all. Understanding this complex area of law and applying recommended best practices will help you to maximize your potential recovery and reduce your liabilities. \nCourse Outline: \n\n An overview of the Builders Lien Act\, including a review of the holdback provisions\nThe process for filing a claim of lien (who\, what\, where\, when and how)\nThe process for cancelling a claim of lien\nThe process for enforcing a claim of lien\nBest practices and tips for maximizing potential recovery\n\nPresenter: Seema Lal is a principal of SHK Law Corporation with particular expertise in the areas of builders liens and construction law.  As a construction lawyer practicing in Vancouver for over 15 years\, Seema’s clients include owners\, developers\, general contractors\, subtrades\, suppliers and design professionals. \nSeema regularly lectures and provide seminars to industry groups both in-house and at various CLEs\, including the Affinity Institute\, the Pacific Business & Law Institute\, the Canadian Construction Institute and the Canadian Credit Institute. She also is an adjunct lecturer in the Engineering Law and Contracts in Civil Engineering course for Civil Engineering students at UBC. \nDisclaimer: The content of this presentation is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice. \n\nWhat previous participants have said: \n“Lots of great relevant examples.” \n“Very good introduction to a complex topic.” \n“Easy to understand\, very clear!” \n“Lots of very detailed info – was nice to have detail rather than just glance over.” \n\n Register Now!

SUMMARY:WEBINAR - Design\, Construction and Maintenance of Sidewalks and Recreational Trails
DESCRIPTION:Municipal urban sidewalks and recreational trails are intended to provide a safe and durable surface for the public. The primary surface material for urban sidewalks has traditionally been concrete with recreational trails traditionally surfaced with hot mix asphalt. However\, there is significant pressure in urban areas to provide “enhanced” treatments including interlocking concrete\, clay bricks\, granite setts\, stamped and coloured concrete and various recycled products. \nMunicipalities are faced with challenges on how to evaluate\, approve and maintain various products. How can each be constructed and maintained in a cost effective manner? How do I determine when I need to “fix” something? What is involved? What are the long-term costs to maintain this infrastructure? How to do I build and maintain sidewalks and recreational trails to be compliant with disability codes? \nThis webinar begins with an overview of the basic functions of sidewalks and recreational trails. Various types of sidewalk surfacings including concrete\, asphalt\, rubber\, recycled materials\, natural stone\, paving stones and bricks\, etc. Features and properties of each are discussed including design\, construction\, expected life\, initial and maintenance costs and safety.
