New Website........
I
t's finally happened, with the
new Association name
we have developed a new and improved website
which will showcase all our events, publications and
of course our members. The ACRA office receives
many calls from the public as well as companies
asking for consultants, contractors or supplier
advice and with this new website it will be easier for
everyone to navigate around. The Association has
grown from strength to strength over the years and
with member support we are able to give back via
more technical events which have now doubled in
the amount held per year as well as more seminars
with topics that members have requested. Our next
seminar is two great topics within the one seminar.
ACRA SEMINAR

Topic one will cover the Security of Payments Act and the speaker is Marty Perry from BCP and the other
topic is on the Durability In Remedial Design. Different concretes require different degrees of durability and
protection depending on the exposure environment and the properties desired. In this part of the night our
speakers will share insights in regards to performance testing and protection of reinforced concrete from a
remedial design perspective as supposed to durability design and planning at the construction phase.
The two presenters are Greg Zambesi of GHD and James Aldred of AECOM Australia.
