Courses & Seminars

Books & Publications

SPC has run more than 100 bespoke training programmes for various organisations, with topics ranging from standards and specifications for specifiers and contractors to implementation of surface preparation and coatings on specific types of structure.

The company tailors these courses to an organisation’s needs and can take many forms, including in-house presentations and regional workshops.

In 2002, SPC entered into a joint venture with Corus to jointly present courses for users of steel structures and these have been organised throughout the United Kingdom.

The company continues to run a series of two day workshops at the Thames Barrier – a course that has a strong emphasis on environmental control of coating contracts.

SPC has also run a series of workshops providing practical input to painting contractors.

SPC’s extensive experience at developing and running courses has produced a number of books and guides on the subject of protection and maintenance of steel structures.

The company produces a regular newsletter, SPC News, containing details of case studies and other useful information for clients. You can download the latest issue here.

SPC has contributed to a number of publications, the most well-known being the book, ‘Steelwork Corrosion Control’ by Bayliss and Deacon. For details of how to obtain a copy, see the About Us/Links page.
