EUROCODE IS HERE !!!
There is much confusion and rumour about what Eurocode actually means. In a bid to dispel the myths, Equipe are holding a number of one day discussion forums. The forums will be made up of a number of relatively short presentations but will concentrate on debate and discussion. Each session will be introduced by one of our panel of experts who will be able to develop the discussion and answer questions.This will not be a training day, as there are many good courses already available, but may well be a day where you learn of the reality check of how Eurocode will inevitably change the way we scope, specify, carry out and report geotechnical investigations.
