Bridging the gap
Building and maintaining resilient, durable timber bridges for the future
CPD points: 1.5
Innovation with timber products and a number of emerging trends means that timber can deliver equivalent outcomes as steel and concrete for bridge projects, particularly as all levels of government and private developers look to reduce emissions in capital works.
This Timber Queensland webinar assembles a panel of experts who will provide insights into how modern timber bridge construction can achieve a cost-effective 100-year design life through ease of replacement of modular components, durability treatments and the use of a horizontal connection systems that prevent moisture entrapment in the structural members.

Brace yourself
Bracing for residential and commercial applications
CPD points: 1.5
Queensland’s wild weather is a timely reminder of the importance of correct bracing for domestic and commercial applications, from multi-storey constructions to single level dwellings, decks, sheds and other structures.
For building professionals, understanding requirements to meet shear forces and staying up to date on bracing changes in the National Construction Code is critical to ensuring your work stands strong for years to come.
