This Municipal Construction Inspection training course will cover techniques for inspecting and assessing structures, evaluating the cause of concrete deterioration or steel bar corrosion, and developing a preventative maintenance program. Renovation of reinforced concrete structures has become more prevalent in recent years as a result of advancements in technology, materials, and maintenance and repair techniques.

The causes of structure deterioration will be examined in detail during this training course with an emphasis on corrosion and innovative protection solutions for steel bars. All repair and renovation methods will be examined theoretically and practically, and their merits and disadvantages will be discussed, as well as how to apply the most appropriate way.

This GLOMACS training course will feature:

• New methods of structure diagnosis
• New methods of structure rehabilitation
• Materials to be used in concrete structure restoration
• Structure protection during the repair
• Methods of protection

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand modern and effective procedures for renovation of the building
• Know the structure defects and cracks and diagnosis the reason for deterioration
• Diagnose the problem and provide a repair solution
• Familiarise with up-to-date renovation methods for concrete and steel structures
• Diagnose the problem and suggest a solution

This Municipal Construction Inspection training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. Videos and photos will be used for illustration.

• Enhance the cost of renovation projects 
• Enabling Better the renovation project cost
• Improve the RC structure's maintenance cost and quality 
• The value cost of renovation against project investment 
• Maximise the organization's investment by having a long-lasting structure

The participants will have the following benefits:

• Able to appraise structures
• Able to describe the extent of renovations
• Able to establish a realistic repair strategy
• Able to employ advanced materials in renovations
• Capable to use advanced materials in renovation

This GLOMACS training course is for people who work in the construction business and are responsible for building maintenance and repair. The training course will also help people who are responsible for generating maintenance document packages, diagnosing failure causes, and engineers who define and select repair procedures:

• Structural engineer
• Civil engineer
• Construction inspector
• Maintenance engineer
• Project manager
