WORLD EXPERT TO PRESENT AT CMA PAVING SEMINAR:
Article Date: 10 April 2007
 Professor Brian Shackel, of the University of News South Wales, Australia, will be lecturing on permeable paving during a seminar on concrete block paving (CBP) hosted by the Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) on 8th June in Midrand. The seminar is aimed at consulting engineers, landscape architects, local government officials, paving contractors and property developers.
A world leader on all aspects of CBP, Shackel will focus on design elements and various applications of permeable paving and will also elaborate on his computerised paving design programme, LOCKPAVE. South Africa was one of the first countries to adopt the programme which can be used for domestic and industrial applications, as well as airport aprons and runways.
Professor Shackel is no newcomer to this country, having spent a two-year sabbatical on full-scale pavement research with the CSIR’s National Institute of Transportation and Road Research, and having visited on several subsequent occasions.
Local paving experts, Professor Alex Visser and John Cairns will also be making contributions to the seminar which is free of charge. For further details and bookings contact Pam Zukor on (011) 805 6742 or via email at main.cma@qmail.com .
