In this CPD event we will look at cargo bikes and how they can be used successfully within the construction industry.
Michael Barratt, development impact assessment manager with Transport for London (TfL), and Ryan Healey, senior project manager at Structure Tone, will talk about the collaboration involving TfL, Southwark Council, Mace and Sir Robert McAlpine to set up strategies to raise construction standards at the Bankside development cluster area in London.

One initiative investigated alternative deliveries. A two-week trial took place where all three constructors shared a loaned cargo bike for a variety of activities, such as collections from Dulux.

Lean Construction – Benefits and Challenges of Lean in Design
21 July, 3-4pm
Lean Construction is a team-led effort that, when successfully implemented and sustained, provides the means for workers to become more efficient and improve the quality of their work.
Because a lean programme requires continuous problem-solving and improvement, it can’t be instigated by an outside party and then thrust upon an unknowing group of people.
Peter Lonergan, technical manager at Ardmac, will present the benefits and challenges of implementing a lean in design approach.
In his presentation he will look at ways in which Ardmac has created added value for customers. He will also discuss how to avoid some of the potential challenges by using the Early Contractor Involvement model.
