What's the Difference Between Permanent and Temporary Works Engineering?

Other than the duration, is there a difference between permanent works engineered structures and temporary works engineered structures? Too often of late, temporary structures, such as scaffold and formwork, are in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Often, structural engineers, with little experience in construction and temporary works are required to carry out third party reviews on temporary works designs. This webinar will give insight into the level of design complexity for construction related temporary works structures, so that an engineer new to the field can determine if they are suitably competent. Designs from real world projects will be used to highlight the design approach needed to prove how these seemingly unreliable or highly loaded structures can stack up. 
 

Speaker Justin Smith will dispel the myth that temporary works is temporary and, therefore, does not require the same level of attention and detail that occurs with permanent structure design.
 

You will learn the basic differences and similarities between designing with a permanent works mindset and the approach for temporary structures, such as edge protection, scaffold, formwork, falsework, and backpropping.
