Pyrite Symposium: Implications of Pyrite beneath Structures
About the Event:
Many buildings constructed in the Dublin area in the last decade have experienced problems related to the use of fill containing pyrite.
In view of this, the 2012 Pyrite Symposium has been organised to assist engineers and lawyers by providing a background to the problems, including an understanding of the cause of the distress, the diagnosis and typical structural damage and the remedial/mitigation measures. The aim of the one-day conference is to encourage discussion between the professionals involved, particularly with regard to SR21 and the NRA 800 Series.
Trinity College Dublin have kindly agreed to host the symposium on 20th April as part of their Trinity Week activities.
