Accredited by ECSA and supported by ASPASA, this two part session considered concrete and material case studies. Barry Pearce, the founder of Learning Matters Etc, covered aspects of in-house testing, as well as setting up checks and balances with the others parties involved in approving the material once onsite. Later Jaco du Plessis from Go Consult tackled the tough question, how does perfectly good concrete fail? The session was expertly moderated by ASPASA director Nico Pienaar.
