SUMMARY:AWEC Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Following on from our inaugural Advancing Women in Engineering & Construction (AWEC) Symposium in 2022\, and the release of the resultant White Paper\, we are excited to reconvene for our second AWEC Symposium on the 2nd of July\, 2026.  The AWEC initiative is at its core committed to supporting equity for women in their professional careers and is primarily aimed at supporting the development and retention of women in the engineering sector and associated parts of the building & construction industry. \nSponsored Tickets: \nNZSEE and SESOC have committed to sponsoring up to 10 tickets for members to attend this important event. In addition to the ticket\, there is also a grant available that can be used to support travel\, accommodation\, and childcare up to a total of $500 (including GST) per attendee. Preference will be given to those who have completed their education and are NZSEE and/or SESOC members from outside of Tāmaki Makaurau – Auckland. \nTo apply\, complete the form:  HERE \nJoin the Collective! \nThe AWEC webpage has more information on the event\, and a link to purchase tickets: \nhttps://diversityagenda.org/awec/ \n \n\n\nJoin us to set the direction – not carry the load!\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 symposium’s tagline of ‘A Collective Voice for Change: Beyond the Barriers’\, takes our foundational motivation of centring the experiences and voices of women\, and aims to build on this by highlighting current barriers to achieving representation and a more inclusive and diverse profession\, whilst also identifying tangible actions that could sustainably overcome these restrictions. Our objective here is for women to guide the way forward\, but not be responsible for leading the change.

SUMMARY:SESOC Seminar Tauranga - Detailed Engineered Timber Design
DESCRIPTION:SESOC Seminar – Detailed Engineered Timber Design:\n1. Durability and Moisture Management\n2. Realising Design Impacts on Build Costs\n \nJuly 26\, 2024 (Friday)\nTauranga\nMercury Baypark\n81 Truman Lane\, Mount Maunganui\, Tauranga \nRegistration 8:45 am\nThe seminar starts at 9:00 am\nThe Seminar finishes at 1:00 pm \nJoin Bjørn Stankowitz and Andy van Houtte when they present Detailed Engineered Timber Design – focusing on two topics: \n\nDurability & moisture management\nRealising design impact on building costs\n\nThe two topics in this seminar can influence the viability of a timber project and be vital for the immediate and long-term success of a timber building. This will be a great discussion as these topics are often considered after structural design of a building rather than in conjunction with the design process. \nIn February\, Bjørn did an introductory presentation on moisture management which you can watch here. Bjørn will provide a thorough discussion about durability and moisture management at the seminar in July. \nAlso this seminar\, Andy Van Houtte will cover the following topics below to help answer the question ‘What design decisions impact the cost of timber building the most?’ \n\nDesign conundrums\nTimber building systems cost comparison\nMaterial and fixing capacity cost ratios\nConnections and CNC costs\nLabour/cranage/transport costs\nConstruction costs impacted by design\nSupply chain overview\nCost of moisture ingress during construction\n\nBy incorporating these thorough processes\, designers can not only safeguard structures but also deliver projects that meet developers’ needs for speed and efficiency. \nThis seminar is suitable for engineers at all experience levels. \nCheck out this brochure for more details \nRegister Now!\nSingle Registration\nGroud Registration \nInvestment details\nSESOC & TDS members – $400 + GST\nNon-members – $480 + GST \nFor any inquiries\, please contact Cheryll at info@cwevents.co.nz \n

SUMMARY:Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nSustainable Design for Structural Engineers\nSESOC is excited to host their first webinar on Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers. \nNew Zealand’s net-zero-carbon legislation requires all industries to contribute to the carbon reduction journey and this is no different for the Construction and Structural Design industries.  The Building and Construction sector currently accounts for around 15% of New Zealand’s annual carbon emissions (MBIE\, 2021)\, and around half of this is through the materials used in buildings and infrastructure. \nSESOC is committed to supporting the shift towards net zero carbon construction\, and to that end\, are looking for ways we can support our members to engage\, understand\, and undertake embodied carbon assessments for their projects\, increasing the ‘carbon literacy’ of the industry (and clients) ahead of the expected mandatory reporting requirements from Central Government. \nWhen: Thursday 28th October at 5.30pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nCost: Free | Register here \nTo Kick start our conversations on Sustainable design\, we welcome Will Arnold\, head of Climate Action for the Institution of Structural Engineers in the UK to share the journey that the UK has been on over the past few years. \nFrom within our own SESOC Sustainable Design Task Force\, Jared Keen and Nick Carmen will then share their presentations from the SESOC 2021 Conference focussing on how we as structural engineers can make a positive contribution through our projects. \nQ and A for the speakers will run after the presentations. \n\n\n\n\nWill Arnold\, Head of Climate Action\, the Institution of Structural Engineers \nWill leads the IStructE’s response to the climate emergency\, bringing sustainability action into all aspects of its work. He is responsible for driving change within the profession\, setting the minimum sustainability standards for institution members\, producing sustainability publications and training to support this\, and collaborating across the wider industry as it moves towards zero emissions. Previous to his work with the institution\, Will was a practising structural engineer at Arup for 10 years where he was responsible for key aspects of ambitious architectural projects across the world. \n  \nWill is chair of the Construction Industry Council’s 2050 Group\, and an active member of The Edge thinktank\, the UK Built Environment Advisory Group\, and the Engineering Advisory Group for The Structural Engineer magazine. He also sits on the judging panel for The Structural Awards. In 2021\, Will was presented with the President’s Award by the Institution\, in recognition of his work instigating change in the field of structural sustainability.\n\n\n\nEmbodied Carbon in Structural Design   \nNick Carman – Mott MacDonald NZ \n Based on some recent experiences and projects quantifying embodied carbon for buildings in Aotearoa-New Zealand\, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the motivation behind studying embodied carbon\, fundamentals of LCA for buildings and typical results from recent studies\, from the viewpoint of an engineer entering into the world of LCA. \nA few key areas of uncertainty are discussed\, such as appropriate steelwork embodied carbon factors (ECFs)\, comparison between as-designed and as-constructed measures\, and whether the use of timber to decarbonise a project is a silver bullet. \n  \nNick Carman is a Technical Director within the Built Environment sector at Mott MacDonald\, with a strong focus on sustainability and  low-carbon design brought about by collaboration.  He has worked on projects throughout Australasia\, the UK\, the Middle-East and Canada\, but his favourite work remains that in his home of New Zealand.\n\n\n\nChallenges and Possible Solutions for Structural Engineers Seeking to Make a Positive Contributions to the Climate Emergency \nJared Keen – BECA \nAs the construction industry\, and the society within which we operate\, seeks mitigations to our present climate emergency\, structural engineers are seeking ways to transform from part of the problem\, to part of the solution.  In this presentation\, Jared examines the barriers that face practicing engineers in the meaningful implementation of low-carbon structures\, and how those barriers might be hurdled\, either by individual design teams\, or by the industry at large. \n  \nJared Keen is a Technical Director at Beca.  As a practicing structural engineer he has delivered major projects throughout New Zealand\, the United Kingdom and Europe.  He is the current IStructE New Zealand branch chair\, and an industry affiliate for QuakeCore.  He has a particular interest in sustainability and low damaged design and has delivered multiple timber projects in New Zealand\n\n\n\n
