Support of Two IMechE Events

The CPA is supporting two industry events being hosted in London by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on Tuesday 15th October 2024.

Both Crane Safety 2024 and Sustainable and Decarbonised Construction 2024 will take place on the same day at IMechE’s London HQ at One Birdcage Walk, with attendees able to access the presentations and knowledge sharing at both of these construction industry technical seminars. As a CPA member, you will qualify for a discount when you book attendance at either event, and you only need to book onto one of the events to access both sets of presentations throughout the day. Further details are below.

Crane Safety 2024

Now in its eighth year, this year’s event returns to the key foundations of safety, risk and compliance to inform and support all those involved in lifting projects. Highlights include:

  • Health and Safety Executive (HSE) give an update on standards, regulations and practical guidance for crane operators and site holders
  • Liftra and Mammoet share fresh perspectives on different lifting challenges
  • Sir Robert McAlpine provide strategies for identifying and mitigating risk in projects
  • Align JV and Metswift outline lessons learned on the use of AI for lift planning
  • Terex Cranes provide a technical preview of the next generation of cranes

Sustainable and Decarbonised Construction 2024

This technical seminar will showcase the efforts of engineers to support decarbonisation efforts across the sector. Presentations will showcase the latest innovations in plant, alternative fuels, heavy machinery, and new materials all contributing to reduced emissions in this sector, together with knowledge sharing of lessons learned during recent projects. The following areas will be covered.

  • Understand the government's priorities for zero-emission construction and available support
  • Learn about innovative materials for greater sustainability, including recycled steel, carbon-reduced cement and timber
  • Get updates on the latest developments in electrification of construction equipment and associated plants
  • Hear case studies on the use of alternative fuels and hybrid power systems, covering renewables, hydrogen and more
  • Join lively discussions covering regulatory challenges, economic incentives and possible future trends
