Free CPD Masonry Reinforcement – Northampton

Technical Seminar: Advanced Masonry Reinforcement & Repair

Hosted by Target Fixings

About the Event

With three decades of industry-leading expertise, Target Fixings invites you to an exclusive technical seminar and networking breakfast at the Marriott Hotel, Northampton.

As we expand our presence within the Northamptonshire region, we are opening our doors to the local design and construction community for a deep dive into the science of masonry reinforcement. This session is specifically tailored for Structural Engineers, Building Surveyors, Architects, Property Developers, and Construction Professionals who are looking to enhance their technical toolkit and earn valuable CPD points.

Why Attend?

Masonry remains one of the most widely used building materials, yet its preservation and reinforcement require a nuanced, engineering-led approach. For 30 years, Target Fixings has occupied a unique position in the market: we don’t just sell products; we design, manufacture, and install them.

This 360-degree perspective allows us to provide insights that other manufacturers cannot. In this session, we will move beyond the basics, exploring common failure points in masonry structures, the impact of modern environmental stressors, and the precision-engineered solutions available to remediate them without compromising aesthetic integrity.

What We Will Cover

Our technical experts will guide you through a comprehensive agenda designed to provide immediate value to your current and future projects:

1. 30 Years of Innovation: A brief look at how masonry reinforcement has evolved and why modern standards require a more integrated approach.

2. Diagnostic Precision: Identifying the root causes of masonry failure—from thermal movement and subsidence to lateral instability.

3. Material Science: Understanding the manufacturing process behind high-grade stainless steel reinforcement and why material choice is critical for longevity.

4. Installation Excellence: Why even the best-designed reinforcement can fail if the installation isn’t handled with surgical precision.

5. Case Studies: Real-world examples of complex projects where bespoke reinforcement saved structures that were deemed “beyond repair.”

Networking & Professional Development

We understand that your time is valuable. This event is designed to be as efficient as it is informative.

• CPD Accreditation: Attendees will receive a certificate for their Continuing Professional Development records.

• Networking: The final portion of the morning is dedicated to open discussion. This is a prime opportunity to connect with other Northampton-based professionals and discuss local project challenges.

• Hospitality: A full complimentary breakfast and a selection of refreshments will be provided throughout the morning.
