Join us at the Arch Street Meeting House in Philadelphia for this two-day workshop!
Brought to you by APT's Technical Committee for Materials and the APT Delaware Valley Chapter
This workshop will thoughtfully approach using materials analysis to inform preservation design. Through presentations with integrated case studies and practice using a local building, participants will explore universal issues related to materials testing. Specific topics will address: materials testing philosophy and methods; necessary research and survey before testing; sampling considerations; strategies for efficient data collection; the testing process and standardization in testing; interpretation of test results; communicating with the project team; data interpretation and using the results; and cost, budget, and schedule.
Learning Objectives
> Understand the process of developing a thoughtful testing program including collaborative input from the Project Team: Owner, Architect, Conservator, Scientist, and Contractor.
> Explain what factors contribute to the selection of specific types of testing based on the observed conditions, client needs, project objectives, schedule, and available budget.
> Understand how to develop appropriate questions that materials testing can answer as they relate to the project, building and materials.
> Apply various approaches for testing, sampling, scientific processing and interpreting obtained data and communicating results and recommendations to the Project Team in lucid and useful reporting to move a Project forward.
