Construction Professionals
CPD Training Seminars
The changes made in BS 8485:2015+A1:2019 & the recommendations advised in CIRIA 735 were radical in their nature and came from the need to update previous standards to ensure safety & a better quality of life for the inhabitants of new constructions.
GeoShield are members of the CPD Service and are focused on improving the construction industries knowledge in the use of the many & varied ground gas protection systems available and the associated validation & verification programs now often mandatory.
