For ease of use, the stone, concrete and other specialist paving industries have collaborated to consolidate the formerly 12-part BS 7533 series into three code of practice standards on the use of clay, concrete and natural stone paving units in pavement design, construction, and maintenance.

BSI has hosted a webinar that explains how the series is being reconfigured; introduces the main technical changes in the first new standard in the series: BS 7533-101:2021; and adds further value with presentations on areas including pavement design, highways engineering, and concrete, stone, and clay as paving materials.

Watching the webinar on-demand will be beneficial for the following audience:

• Public and private sector designers

• Suppliers and contractors employed by the county, district, and unitary councils

• UK local authorities, highway authorities, and rail authorities and their supply chains

• Metropolitan authorities such as TfL, Highways England, Transport Scotland, the National

• Assembly for Wales and the Department for Regional Development Northern Ireland

• Airport owners, and their planners and environmental specialists for their landside operations that make extensive use of modular paving

• Architects for commercial and residential developments

Participants of the webinar will gain the following:

• Expert insights about paving design and materials

• A better understanding of the new structure of the BS 7533 series

• A clear explanation of the main technical changes in, and benefits of, BS 7533-101:2021

• A post-event copy of the webinar presentations and a recording

Key Webinar Details

Our paving webinar took place on 20th October 2021 for anyone who wanted to know more about design and how to use different modular paving materials.

It was also for anyone using standards in the BS 7533 series on modular paving units, which is being reorganized from 12 standards to three to make the series easier to use.

We covered why this is happening and explored current trends in paving design and construction.

Our speakers included:

• Alex Patrick-Smith of Dreadnought Tiles on the use of clay materials

• Colin Nessfield of British Precast on the use of concrete materials

• David Burton of Tuffbau on the use of stone materials

• Ian Walsh of Road Consultants on the highways engineering perspective on designing a pavement

• Michael Heap of Cedstone on the use of stone materials

• Phil Crichton of Tuffbau on the end-user perspective on designing a pavement

• Tom Emerton of Marshalls on the use of concrete materials
