The BSI Education podcast was started to support the next generation of industry experts. It tells the stories behind the standards.

Released on the 19th August 2021, episode 37 explores standards and pavements, in particular, an important highway engineering standard - BS 7533-101.

This episode is also a story of patience, perseverance, and the power of consensus in standards-making, as told by two of the people involved - Tim Yates of BRE Group and Richard Scrivener of Arup.

It has been a challenging task to draw together the different parts of the BS 7533 series and the views of the stakeholders, but the efforts have been worthwhile. There has been a strong input from end-users, and it has been invaluable in drafting a document that is technically correct and supports the use of modular paving

The BSI Education Podcast is hosted by Matthew Chiles and Cindy Parokkil. Listen to the episode here.
