This presentation will explore how geophysical methods can be utilized to reduce risk due to unknown conditions during site design. The use of geophysics in conjunction with invasive exploration can be a cost-effective means of providing substantially more information than that obtained with additional invasive methods.
In this program, we will be discussing how business owners can continue to attract and retain talent. We will address the ever changing tax landscape and will spend time on topical issues that are affecting most small businesses.
To create more equitable ideas, we need to create an inclusive design process with multiple and sometimes conflicting points of views. Our ever-evolving remote work situation is a potential danger to forcing our design process and ideas to become more siloed. Equitable access to design technology coupled with the intentional incorporation of virtual tools will help us bridge the creativity and collaboration gap caused by the physical separation of our teams.
Attendees will receive information about how to properly detail Cast Stone for a variety of project types. Building movement and dead loads as a function of the design requirements for veneers are discussed. The proper use of anchors, types of mortar, sealant joints and kerfs on exterior veneer applications are also addressed in this informative session. Attendees will be able to understand appropriate specification of Cast Stone for architectural applications.
This course will review the importance of acoustics in architecture, discuss the fundamental principles of sound management, explore how to design interior spaces to maximize occupants’ comfort, and review emerging tools to solve for both sound and lighting. It will also focus on the standards that govern acoustic requirements for diverse applications.
This program will explore the history of blasts and progressive collapse failures. Presentation will cover basic blast design and understanding GSA, VA and DOD requirements for health and safety. Participants will understand designing structures for blast protection to preserve the health and wellness of the buildings occupants. Other topics of will include understanding progressive collapse failures, understanding collapse mitigation, performance of construction materials, and materials used in blast projects.
This program is focused on fireproofing your building for interior and exterior. Coatings and systems for every area of your facility are discussed to help you reduce downtime and comply with demanding environmental regulations.
This program will present the benefits of having a geotechnical engineer fully involved as member of the design team, explain the cost versus risk relationship that exists for the geotechnical engineering components of a project, and identify geotechnical engineering aspects that could negatively influence project success through case examples.
As we move forward to a post-pandemic world, things will be different for the office space in terms of occupant density, well-being, and safety. Overall, companies of all sizes will likely reexamine their long-term needs for fixed space. We begin this course where we left off in promoting a healthy workplace while attempting to understand what more we need to do with office design in a post pandemic world. We can only solve some of the immediate concerns but must be prepared to adapt and evolve each day as observations, experience and science emerge.
Join Lynch Mykins President, Dave Mykins, for an in-person Lunch & Learn program at the Lynch Mykins downtown Raleigh offices. This program reviews the process and procedure for handling a forensic investigation form assembling the team, to documentation, and resolution of the cause.
