OPTIGRUN LAUNCH NEW RIBA APPROVED BLUE ROOF CPD
BUILD SAFER STRUCTURES WITH SIMPSON STRONG-TIE
Optigrun has launched a new RIBA approved CPD seminar, ‘Understanding blue roofs – From design to application’. Increases in our urban population, the density of urban development and the effects of climate change are all placing additional pressure on our public surface water drainage systems. Designed and installed correctly a blue roof can provide a very successful surface water management solution for modern construction projects. This session discusses the principles of a blue roof, their environmental and ecological benefits and the importance of the specification process. 0203 589 9400

OSB brand, SterlingOSB Zero. With a different brief each year, the competition has been hotly contested by some of the industry’s most creative architectural practices, all vying to win the top prize of £2,500. The interest from architects in West Fraser products, and the company’s environmental credentials, has led to the development of a specific architect hub on the website
uk.westfraser.com/ resources/architect-support. The new page details the competition as well as providing
F
tailored information such as CPDs, downloadable product datasheets and BIM objects. The architect can also order product samples.
