Managing Director, Kevin Dare of Face Consultants Ltd was a keynote speaker at recent FloorSem 2012, a series of seminars held by the Concrete Society of South Africa in association with the Cement & Concrete Institute.

Having summarised basic floor construction techniques around the world, he also covered structural design; detail design and construction methods including long strip, laser screed jointed, laser screed jointless and post-tensioned. The latter were compared in terms of their advantages and disadvantages.
