Gloucester CPD Event: 7 Shocking Mistakes That Cost You Time

Gloucester CPD Event : Elevate Your Expertise

Target Fixings, a leading UK manufacturer, supplier, and installer of advanced masonry reinforcement materials, is delighted to invite Structural Engineers, Building Surveyors, Property Developers, and Architects to an essential and completely free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar. Scheduled for early February 2026, this event is strategically designed to provide deep, actionable insights into the complexities of structural repair and the material innovations that will define best practice in the coming year.

This is a key Gloucester CPD Event, perfectly positioned for professionals across Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and the South West, offering a crucial knowledge upgrade that will ensure your project specifications and remedial strategies meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and compliance.

The Critical Need for Localised CPD and Expertise

The building stock across Gloucestershire, including historical and heritage properties, presents unique structural challenges. Professionals are frequently encountering complex defects—from pervasive cracking and bowing walls to failed wall ties and inadequate lintel support. Specifying outdated or generic repair methods not only fails to solve the underlying problem but also carries significant financial and reputational risks.

This seminar focuses on proprietary, engineered solutions that allow for effective, non-disruptive, and guaranteed structural remediation. Investing a morning in this session contributes directly to your professional development within the Gloucestershire Construction sector and ensures your specifications reflect the most modern, guaranteed remedial systems available. This is a must-attend event for Gloucester Structural Engineers looking to refine their skills.

Event Highlights & Focus: Achieving Structural Excellence

Our team of experienced structural experts and materials specialists will guide you through crucial structural principles and practical solutions, ensuring you leave with heightened technical confidence. The comprehensive agenda for this seminar includes:

1. Masonry Reinforcement Fundamentals: We commence with an in-depth analysis of why masonry structures fail, focusing on the forces (tensile, compressive, shear) at play. We will demonstrate the scientific principles behind modern reinforcement, specifically how the strategic placement of our Bar Flex effectively acts as a tensile reinforcement to composite with the existing masonry.
2. The Target Fixings Portfolio: Innovation in Materials: Get an exclusive look at the specialised materials manufactured by Target Fixings. We will detail the specifications and benefits of our high-grade stainless steel Bar Flex, specialist grout Bond Flex and resin fixing systems, and how to correctly select them for various defects and substrates.
3. The 7 Shocking Mistakes That Cost You Time: This high-value segment will focus on the common, costly errors in specifying and overseeing remedial structural projects. We will unveil the pitfalls related to inadequate diagnosis, incorrect product selection, poor installation practice, and failure to address related issues (e.g., drainage/lintel support) simultaneously. Avoiding these mistakes is crucial for maximising efficiency.
4. Critical Wall Tie Solutions and Lateral Restraint: We dedicate significant time to the crucial issue of failed wall ties, detailing the inspection, testing, and replacement. We will also address the vital matter of lateral restraint, securing gable ends and wall heads, a necessary component of structural stability in Gloucestershire Construction.
5. Practical Case Studies: From Theory to Application: To solidify the learning, we will showcase detailed real-world projects across commercial, residential, and historic properties within the region, illustrating the successful diagnosis and deployment of Target Fixings solutions to tackle complex issues like differential settlement, seismic reinforcement, and historic building preservation.

This focus on actionable knowledge and eliminating errors is what makes this a highly valuable session for Gloucester Structural Engineers.
