AliDeck CPD Learning

AliDeck is committed to doing all that we can to ensure the safe and compliant use of our range of balcony component systems in order to achieve best outcomes in balcony, terrace, and walkway applications.

We have developed our AliDeck, AliDrain, AliClad, AliRail and A-Fence ranges to solve the challenges that architects, designers, developers, and fabricators meet in their work. While the practical challenges that our products resolve are often simple to quickly understand (for example, how our large spanning decking boards reduce the requirement for underside steel framework support), there is a dizzying array of less tangible issues that must be taken into consideration, not least to mention the regulatory and legislation concerns that surround balcony design.

Accordingly, AliDeck has developed a suite of tailored, relevant CPD Learning that can help architects, specifiers, and others not only understand the specific issues surrounding the design and construction of balconies, terraces, and walkways, but also how and why AliDeck products meet and resolve these challenges.

“Building Compliant Balconies, Terraces, and Walkways” is an in-depth AliDeck product CPD. The presentation looks at the broad set of issues that face those concerned in the design and construction of balconies, terraces, and walkways, identifies the key challenges that must be resolved, and explains how the AliDeck family of component systems resolves each concern.

The learning covers; the background behind the new regulations; building a safer future with compliant materials; safety testing; and more.

“AliDeck Product CPD on BS 8579:2020 (Guide To The Design Of Balconies and Terraces)” is a detailed examination of the new British Standard, BS8579:2020. The presentation highlights the new detail provided by the Standard, discusses the issues the Standard is aiming to resolve, explores the implications of the new requirements, and considers how to achieve compliant design to BS8579:2020.

The learning covers; the background behind the new Standard; the “pedestrian surface”; fire safety; drainage design; and more.

“AliDeck CPD on Fire Remediation for Balconies, Terraces and Walkways” is a solutions-based session that explores the background behind the fire safety crisis, details the nature of the problems building owners and managers are encountering, and proposes a range of fully compliant solutions or successful remediation.

The learning covers; changing legislation and regulations; EWS1; fire safety; compliant systems; and more.
