SMD Cuts Carbon Footprint by Installing Video Conferencing Suite at Poole Offices

In a bid to reduce our carbon footprint a full HD Video Conferencing suite has been installed at our main offices, in Poole. The advantages are clear, a reduction in travel time and cost as well as the ability to have face-to-face meetings with clients from anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. But perhaps the biggest advantage is the reduction in Co2 emissions - we estimate that this purchase alone will reduce our carbon footprint by approx. 18 tonnes in the next 12 months!

SMD Products added to RAM Structural System Version 12.

 

 

 

Working closely with Bentley Systems, our decking products are now available for selection in the RAM Structural System (RSS). The recently released RSS Version 12 now includes the ability to design composite and non-composite beams using SMD decking products. In addition, SMD decks can now be specified in a full building model to assess the new SCI design routine P354 for floor vibration design dealing with response factors.

This new upgrade is available to all RAM clients on a maintenance contract and will be shown for the first time in seminars throughout the UK and Ireland during May and June, to register for the seminars visit www.bentley.com/floorvibe_uk
