Emerging from the pandemic restrictions early this year we are still regaining speed and have been limited somewhat in the technical activities organised by the technical subcommittee. Our 13th Continuous Professional Development Activity was also conducted as an online presentation and took place on 27th March 2022.
A presentation on “The use of Recycled Concrete in Road Pavement Construction” was delivered live online by Eng. Ruchitha Mendis who is a highly Experienced Construction engineer currently working at the Logan City Council in Queensland.
The seminar provided insight into the Logan City Council where Ruchitha has successfully developed a specification and a cost-effective strategy to use the demolished concrete material economically and effectively for its local road construction /rehabilitation works for the first time based on studies undertaken by the Road Construction & Maintenance Branch of the Council. He presented his case studies and applications that have been developed and applied.

The event was attended by more than 40 participants from around Australia and overseas, including Sri Lanka and ended with a lively Q & A session. The Management Committee of the Chapter takes this opportunity to thank Eng. Ruchitha Mendis for his excellent presentation, everyone who attended the event and 4EB Sri Lankan Radio Group for media coverage.
