Overview

When it comes to design and construction in today’s world there are many options to consider and, in this seminar, participants will expand their understanding on Insulated Sandwich Panel (ISP), how the manufacturing processes differ and how this in turn results in different properties for each panel type. This presentation will identify the key quality control measures in this process, the Australian Standards and other controls applicable to the end products.
The presentation will also look at the BIM options with ISP, a ready reckoner for NCC fire compliance, how panel should be handled through the supply chain including building site requirements and the essentials for a range of installation methods for ISP such as FRL, FM Approved, Temperature Controlled and IPCA Code of Practice.
