Southampton CPD Event: No.1 for Vital Secrets to Structural Resilience

Southampton CPD Event : Master Advanced Structural Solutions

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 mid-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 Southampton CPD Event, perfectly positioned for professionals across Hampshire and the South Coast region, offering a crucial knowledge upgrade that will ensure your project specifications and remedial strategies meet the highest standards of safety, durability, and compliance in the Southampton Construction sector.

The Critical Need for Localised and Specialised CPD

The architecture of Southampton and the surrounding coastal regions presents unique challenges due to factors like varying ground conditions and historical building stock. Professionals are frequently encountering complex defects—from widespread cracking and lateral instability to the critical failure of original wall ties exacerbated by environmental exposure. Specifying outdated or generic repair methods not only fails to solve the underlying problem but also carries significant financial and professional risks.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 and ensures your specifications reflect the most modern, guaranteed remedial systems available. This is a must-attend event for Southampton Structural Engineers looking to refine their structural repair skills.

Event Highlights & Focus: Achieving Structural Resilience

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 prevalent in Southampton Construction.
3. The 6 Vital Secrets to Structural Resilience: This high-value segment will focus on the most crucial and often overlooked techniques for ensuring the longevity of your structural repairs:
   • Advanced Crack Stitching: Best practice methodology for achieving sympathetic and lasting repair to damaged masonry.
   • Remedial Lintel Creation: Techniques for introducing load-bearing support above openings where original lintels have failed.
   • Lateral Restraint Systems: Methods for tying bulging or unstable wall panels back to the floor/roof diaphragm, a critical procedure for coastal properties.
   • Corrosion Management: Understanding and specifying the correct grade of stainless steel for long-term resistance, especially in marine environments.
   • Differential Movement Mitigation: Strategies for addressing movement between different materials or sections of a structure.
   • Non-Disruptive Diagnostics: Techniques for accurately assessing defects without unnecessary damage.
4. Critical Wall Tie Solutions: We dedicate significant time to the crucial issue of failed wall ties, detailing the inspection, testing, and replacement process using both mechanical and resin-based systems. This is particularly relevant given environmental factors in the region.

This focus on actionable knowledge and resilience is what makes this a highly valuable session for Southampton Structural Engineers.
