‘It's what you know, as well as who you know’
The activities of The Society's advisory, technical development, professional/business networking, CPD and information services provide the construction industry with a major focal point for information and a proactive forum for debate and action. We play a vital role in encouraging the use and development of concrete as a uniquely versatile and competitive material.
The Society works through the cooperation of our members who come from all sectors of the industry to exchange information and experience and to enhance the performance, productivity and quality of concrete as a construction medium. Supported by the technical and administrative staff of The Society, our members collaborate to produce and disseminate state-of-the-art reports, recommendations and practical guidance.
Dissemination of information is a major feature of The Society's work and takes place in a number of ways: by direct one-to-one contact with the staff of the Concrete Advisory Service; by technical publications; by national and regional seminars, and through the monthly magazine CONCRETE and the newsletter News and Views.
A network of 20 Concrete Society Region and Club Committees, covering the whole of the United Kingdom, also serves our members, arranging a comprehensive programme of CPD, technical and social events in their areas. As well as the technical benefits, these events provide an ideal social forum for members to widen connections in the different sectors of the concrete industry and to build up valuable business and social contacts.
The Concrete Society's independent Concrete Advisory Service provides prompt, impartial technical advice on concrete and related matters to subscribing members of any discipline. The regionally-based staff are all Chartered Engineers and have a wide experience of all aspects of the use of concrete. Any member of staff of a subscribing group member can tap into this vast amount of information on materials, technology and practice.
For more than 30 years, The Concrete Society has built on its technical base to become a leading provider of information serving the needs of clients, architects, engineers, specifiers, suppliers, contractors and users of concrete, with emphasis on quality and competitiveness. The flow and availability of sound, practical information of the highest quality is a prime deliverable from The Society.
Our members are spread throughout the world and we hope that our website, with its updated Members' area, will help to draw all 'members' closer to our activities.
