SEMINAR ON SINGAPORE STANDARDS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
"IMPROVING CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY THROUGH
SINGAPORE STANDARDS"
In conjunction with the World Standards Day celebration this year, PSB together with the Building & Construction Authority (BCA) are organising a seminar on some of the key Singapore Standards for the construction industry on 13 October 2000.
The 1-day seminar will feature some of the key Singapore Standards
used in the construction industry on aggregates, cement, steel and concrete
material specifications and codes of practice.
| SS 2 : 1999 | Steel for the reinforcement of concrete |
| SS 18 : 1999 | Specification for cold-reduced steel wire for the reinforcement of concrete and the manufacture of welded fabric |
| SS 32 : 1999 | Specification for welded steel fabric for the reinforcement of concrete |
Test method specifications for `bend and rebend' tests and `tensile' testing
| SS 31 : 1998 | Aggregates from natural sources for concrete |
| SS 289 : 2000 | Specification for concrete |
| SS 26 : 2000 | Ordinary portland cement |
| SS 476 : 2000 | High slag blastfurnace cement |
| SS 477 : 2000 | Portland balstfurnace cements |
Test method specifications for 'cement'
| CP 65 : 1999 | Structural use of concrete |
| CP 81 : 1999 | Precast concrete slab and wall panels |
| CP 82 : 1999 | Waterproofing of reinforced concrete buildings |
Having construction design and materials meet the requirements of these standards will help raise the level of safety, quality and productivity of the construction industry, thereby reaping greater benefits to all parties. The seminar will serve as a good platform to inform the industry of the various Singapore Standards that will be used by BCA in their administrative requirements and regulations.
Speakers at the seminar who are from the industry and academia will highlight the salient points of the standards and their impact on the industry. CP 81 on Code of Practice on Precast Concrete Slab and Wall Panels is an example of a standard that will impact the industry, in the light of the legislation on buildable design to be effected next January to raise construction labour productivity.
This seminar provides an invaluable opportunity for the industry professional to receive a first hand and comprehensive update of the development of the Singapore Standards.
