Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on foundation repair and strengthening in good years and paid for in bad ones. Moving repair and strengthening from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the wider engineering and maintenance work agenda rather than to abstract argument. Participants gain a realistic view of what foundation repair and strengthening costs and what it returns. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the practice within engineering and maintenance work, not for observers of it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better repair and strengthening is rarely technical. It concentrates on the parts of foundation repair and strengthening that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Work concludes with a self-assessment of repair and strengthening that participants can repeat annually.
