18-acre site at the Construction Industry Training Board National Construction College, Bircham Newton provides a unique week long learning experience \u2013 Constructionarium, for students to build scaled replicas of iconic structures from around the world using common construction methods, materials and plant.<\/p>\n<p>This activity has formed a key part of all of Southampton\u2019s Civil Engineering degrees since 2008, and where our 1st Year Civil Engineers, working in groups of ~18 combine the ap\u00ad plication of practical construction skills and project management processes to construct their own version of the Millau Cable Bridge, Brewery Wharf Footbridge (Leeds), Kingsgate Footbridge (Durham University) and the Raven\u00ad spurn floating platform.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for this residential field course, students must learn to understand and interpret engineering drawings, calculate the loads and forces and their safe pathway to ground, plan and develop a construction and resourcing programme, evaluate projects costs and the embodied carbon associated with their Constructionarium Projects, all within a construction management framework that ensures a safe method of working and risk mitigation through a permitting, inspection and compliance system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Module Lead Prof David Richards Tutors Franziska
