Due to Space limitation at website hence it only can show 1 timing. please note that this is a 2-day course: 

Date:  12 & 13 June 2025, Thursday & Friday

Time: 12 June 2025 via zoom(Virtual) from 2.00pm to 5.15pm 

          13 June 2025 via physical at Orchard Hotel Singapore(Physical) 9.00am to 5.45pm (Buffet Lunch at Cafe)

I) Conceptual to Construction of Top-Down Construction (6 Hours) 

Part 1: Principles of  ERSS and GBW Works for Basement Deep Excavation Projects in Compliance with BCA Regulations (2 Hours)

This session will give an introduction to the various types of temporary work for deep excavation projects.  These temporary works are either classified as Earth Retaining & Stabilising System (ERSS) or Geotechnical Building Work (GBW) by BCA depending on the excavation depth and retained height.  It is important to first understand the key factors affecting the design safety of the various types of ERSS and GBW, in order to be able to carry out the necessary supervision of these ERSS and GBW.  Therefore participants will be able to learn the important features of these types of ERSS and GBW design concept and construction sequence in this session.  The participants will also learn about the process of deep excavation management including managing the instrumentation & monitoring, and managing the groundwater control and ground settlement.  This 2 hour session will prepare the participants to be able to have good understanding of the deep excavation for building basement projects. 

Part 2: BCA, LTA DBC, PUB and SPPG Regulatory Framework for Design and Supervision of Building Basement Deep Excavation Projects (1 hour)

There are many current underground projects in Singapore such as Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Thomson East Coast Line (TEL), North South Corridor (NSC) highway, Deep Tunnel Sewerage System(DTSS), Singapore Power Underground Substation (UGSS), underground drainage, sewerage and water pipelines projects. Hence it is very important to have a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework to ensure building basement deep excavation underground projects are carried out in a safe manner and the supervision of building basement deep excavation underground projects are well managed. This session will illustrate the BCA, LTA DBC, PUB and SPPG regulatory framework in Singapore for design submission approval and construction supervision and management of building basement deep excavation projects. 

Part 3: From Conceptual to Construction for Top-Down Construction Sequence with concurrent excavation and superstructure construction for New Development of Building with Basement in Vicinity of MRT Viaduct Structures - Illustrated with a Case Study (1.5 hour)

In this session, the participants will learn about the basic principles of the approach from conceptual to construction for building basement in vicinity of MRT viaduct structure using top-down construction
sequence with concurrent excavation and superstructure construction - illustrated with a case study. This is a process that Developers, Contractors, Design Engineers & Site Engineers should
understand for New Development of Building with Basement. This will equip the participant with the necessary basic knowledge in planning, design and construction of building basement deep excavation
projects with top-down construction method for building basement projects in vicinity to MRT viaduct structures.
 

Part 4: Case Studies for Top-Down Building Basement Construction In vicinity to MRT Underground Structures - illustrated with Case Study (1.5 hour)

In this session, the participants will learn about the basic principles of the approach from conceptual to construction for building basement in vicinity of MRT underground structures using top-down
construction sequence with concurrent excavation and superstructure construction - illustrated with a case study. This is a process that Developers, Contractors, Design Engineers & Site Engineers should
understand for New Development of Building with Basement. This will equip the participant with the necessary basic knowledge in planning, design and construction of building basement deep excavation
projects with top-down construction method for building basement projects in vicinity to MRT underground structures.

(II) Essential Factors for a Successful Design for Safety (4 Hours) 

Objectives:

At the end of this course, participants will understand the right approach to Design for Safety (DfS) and acquire the necessary knowledge to apply DfS in their projects. The course will also explain the latest changes in the WSH (Design for Safety) Guidelines as well as discuss the key factors for a successful DfS implementation.

Course Outline:

• Overview of the WSH (DfS) Guidelines revised in 2022
• Design Risk Management & Assessment
• Duties & responsibilities of key stakeholders stipulated in WSH (DfS) Regulations 2015
• Scope & Extent of DfS
• Introduction to Design for Safety (DfS)
• Key changes in the latest WSH (DfS) Guidelines
• GUIDE process & recommended DfS tools
• Hierarchy of control for mitigation
• Conditions for a successful DfS review
• Guidance on conducting an effective and thorough DfS review meeting
