Composites UK will be launching its Construction Sector Group (CSG) at the Construction Sector Showcase on 6 October at the Building Centre, London.
The CSG will operate in a similar way to the Network Group for Composites in Construction (NGCC), which was dissolved at its AGM in April 2015.
The group will provide a forum to discuss the common issues involving working with fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) in construction and look to find best practice solutions. The activities of the CSG will be guided by a committee which will be elected from within the CSG membership. For the first 12 months the committee will be:
- James Henderson, Atkins Ltd – Sector Group Chair
- Martin Halpin, J Murphy & Sons Ltd – Sector Group Vice Chair
- Mithila Achintha, University of Southampton – R&D Task Group Chair
- Neil Farmer, Tony Gee and Partners
- Brian Bell, Independent Consultant (ex-Network Rail)
- Simon Eves, Pipex px
- Suzanne Wood, Construction Composites
- John Drewett, Concrete Repairs Ltd
- Neil Loudon, Highways England
- Jim Quinn, James Quinn Associates
- Rob Dean, Network Rail
The CSG will organise focused promotional activities and events and provide a direct link to UK government.
