Building Resilience in Design Guidance for Engineering (BRiDGE) is a cross-agency programme focused on strengthening New Zealand’s engineering system by developing clear, practical and consistent engineering guidance for buildings and infrastructure assets. Paul, who is the Director of BRiDGE, will provide an update on the programme, its progress to date, and what is coming next.
Dave is a member of the Steering Group providing oversight of the review of the Earthquake-Prone Buildings system. He is also a technical adviser to MBIE on the implementation of the new system and will provide an overview of the changes and what they are likely to mean in practice.
The session will provide a useful opportunity to hear directly from those involved in both the development and implementation of these initiatives, with a particular focus on their implications for our region.
Dave Brunsdon and Paul Campbell are in town for the QuakeCore conference and have kindly agreed to speak to the group about the BRiDGE programme and the upcoming changes to New Zealand’s Earthquake-Prone Building (EPB) system, which are particularly relevant to coastal Otago.
