The Devon and Cornwall Region held a Technical Training day on Tuesday 20th May at the University of Plymouth.
In total there were 30 people in attendance, including speakers, which was a great turnout.
The day started with a coffee and networking outside the theatre. The session started with Denise Roberts (D&C Chair) giving an introduction to the Society and explaining the benefits of becoming a member.
First up was Raman Mangabhai who discussed the current situation with cementitious materials with particular emphasis on ground calcined clay. Next up was Richard Hunt from LKAB who spoke about the world of critical minerals and the work underway between the EU and LKAB in Sweden.
After a short coffee break Boksun Kim gave an update on her work with research and the various projects she has had funding for followed by her student Henrik who spoke about the findings of some of those projects and how recycled aggregates behaved in concrete as far as various strength characteristics.
The day was enjoyed by all and received very good feedback following the event.
