\"TRADA<\/a>IHBC volunteers, officers and staff make huge efforts to reach out to new audiences for conservation, but next week\u2019s travels by IHBC director Sean O\u2019Reilly are especially wide as he chairs a session of the IHBC CPD recognised conference on \u2018Conserving and regenerating heritage buildings\u2019 in Manchester on Tuesday, targeting non-conservation specialists, where the IHBC will host a stand, and on Friday explains how risk management in conservation offers lessons on \u2018Risk Reduction for Resilient Cities\u2019 at the international conference at the University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, using the IHBC\u2019s journal Context<\/em> and B.S. 7913<\/em> as joint guides.<\/h3>\n

On Manchester the organisers write:<\/p>\n

Timber experts Exova BM TRADA have teamed up with leading construction and environmental consultants RSK, to co-host a FREE one-day seminar, which is recognised by the IHBC for CPD, on the challenges and obstacles encountered when conserving and regenerating heritage buildings, on Tuesday 1 November at the Museum of Science & Industry building in Manchester.<\/p>\n

The UK\u2019s historic built environment is unique and many buildings are irreplaceable.\u00a0 Inspection and assessment of these buildings and their components presents technical challenges for conservation experts when undertaking renovation. This seminar is aimed at construction professionals who need to be aware of these challenges and how to overcome them.\u00a0 Through a series of talks by industry professionals, delegates will gain an appreciation of the issues involved in conserving and regenerating historic buildings and how to overcome the challenges.<\/p>\n

Bringing together some of the UK\u2019s leading technical experts on structural assessment, renovation, fire and conservation, this seminar will be extremely valuable for construction professionals who deal with historic buildings. There will be a particular focus on case studies and examples of excellence delivered by a team that includes geomaterials scientists, conservators, geophysicists, structural engineers and timber technical consultants.<\/p>\n
