Icopal CPD seminars

Radon Protection - New Buildings

This presentation offers you a useful and informative insight to the radon gas problem in Ireland. Its aim is to give you:

• An understanding of the nature and extent of the problem.
• A summary of the latest legal requirements when dealing with radon, (including radon in the workplace).
• An in-depth look at current ‘Best Practice’ and principles of radon protection in new buildings.

CPD - The use of flexible membranes & acoustic systems in construction

How technological advances in construction membranes have expanded their application range and how, correct specification and installation can address a wide range of common acoustic problems.
