Structural Conservation of Ruins

14 January 2025 at 1:00 PM

Historic ruins differ from historic buildings in ways that can make them challenging even to experienced structural engineers. Bridget Drake-Wilkes, Senior Structural Engineer in the Historic England Structural Engineering Team has recently contributed to The Structural Engineers Conservation Compendium Part 20: Another Life in Ruins which concentrates on the numerical analysis of ruined walls.

In this webinar Bridget will present her paper alongside Jon Avent of Mann Williams. Jon authored the first part of the Life in Ruins series in October 2015, as Part 11 of the Conservation Compendium, which focused more generally on the challenges of derelict structures.

Structural Assessment of Historic Assets Proposed for Demolition

28 January 2025 at 1:00 PM

A new guidance note for structural engineers being requested to inspect and report on historic assets proposed for demolition has recently been published by CARE (Conservation Accredited Register of Engineers), in conjunction with the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

In this Technical Tuesday webinar Ed Morton of The Morton Partnership and co-chairman of the CARE panel will present the guidance. The note is intended to provide clear advice to structural engineers who have been asked to report on historic assets when demolition or partial demolition is proposed with the aim of preventing unnecessary loss.
