Starting with this week, Romano Allione (FIDIC Contracts expert) started with a two day seminar to explain the main concepts behind conditions of contracts of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers guidelines (Red, Silver, Yellow book). He took some time as well to present some very interesting case histories from his wide personal professional experience, such as Panama Canal where he provided his expertise.

Finally during this short week due to the Republic Day of Italy, Oggeri Claudio presented a very interesting lecture on the reuse of excavated material. This is a topic of mayor concern nowadays due to the higher constraints in terms of disposal of the spoil, the possibility of reutilise it instead of treating it as a by product has to be considered not only for environmental but also for economical reasons.
