2012 Pyrite Symposium - 20th April 2012 - Trinity College, Dublin
Many buildings constructed in the Dublin area in the last decade have experienced problems related to the use of fill containing pyrite.
In view of this, Brian Hawkins, who has many years of experience dealing with pyrite, convened the 2012 Pyrite Symposium in Dublin. The one-day conference was organized to assist engineers and lawyers by providing a background to the problems, including an understanding of the cause of the distress, the diagnosis and typical structural damage and the remedial/mitigation measures. The aim of the conference was to encourage discussion between the professionals involved, particularly as regards SR21 and the NRA 800 Series.
Trinity College Dublin kindly agreed to host the symposium on the 20th April 2012 as part of the end of their Trinity Week activities.
