This is the fifth in a series of technical lectures on the Building Safety Act and its impact on the wider industry. This session will focus on Gateways. It will define what these are and when they are relevant during design, construction and occupation of Higher Risk Buildings, and explain what is expected of structural engineers to fulfil the associated requirements and how design and construction programmes are affected by Gateway submissions.
Note that this will be one of a series of BSA-related CPD sessions through 2025.
Chris O’Regan CEng FIStructE, Associate Director, Mason Navarro Pledge
Chris has been working within the field of structural engineering since 1987 and has been a Chartered Structural Engineer for 25 years. His experience is primarily in building structures, which has included a significant number of Higher Risk Buildings (HRB) as defined by the Building Safety Act.
Chris has had firsthand experience in delivering design documentation for new building HRBs within the Gateway system of submissions to the Building Safety Regulator.
In this talk he will share his experiences with preparing detailed information on HRB developments to comply with the Gateway 2 requirements as well as assisting with the creation of safety case reports to existing residential and mixed use buildings.
