Concrete cracking is not a defect — it is normal, expected behaviour under load, shrinkage, and temperature. Yet many anchor designs still assume uncracked concrete 📉 and that single assumption can significantly overestimate anchor capacity. The result? Anchors that look safe on paper but underperform where it matters most. ❌ Join our technical session and build a solid understanding of cracked concrete and how to design anchors for it with confidence using PROFIS Engineering 👇 🧱 What cracked concrete actually is, and why it is unavoidable 🛡️ Why it matters for anchor safety and long-term performance 📐 Assessment methods defined in both EU and ACI code frameworks 🔩 Key design provisions for anchors in cracked concrete 💡 How to apply these principles directly in PROFIS Engineering 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Structural Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers

Join us for an insightful session and a technical deep dive into what separates a high-quality engineering judgment from a liability risk — and how UL's Technical Evaluation Development Program is raising the bar for the entire firestopping industry. What you'll learn 👇 🔥 What an EJ is and when it is required 📋 EJ vs listed system — key differences 📐 IFC EJ Guidelines: the industry framework ⚠️ Why low-quality EJs exist in the market 🛡️ What UL TEDP is and why UL Solutions launched it 🏙️ Current code landscape — UAE as an example 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Fire Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers

⚠️ A shear-deficient member is one of the most critical problems in an existing structure — and one of the hardest to strengthen. Traditional shear strengthening methods like concrete jacketing, steel plates, or external wrapping are often disruptive, space-consuming, and costly 📉 What if you could design post-installed shear reinforcement the same way you design cast-in shear reinforcement? ✅ Join our webinar and discover the new HIT-Shear system — a smarter way to strengthen concrete members deficient in shear 👇 🔩 How the new HIT-Shear system delivers cost-effective and efficient shear strengthening 🧮 Design post-installed shear reinforcement following the same principles as cast-in reinforcement 💻 Live demonstration of a complete design using the new Shear Strengthening module in PROFIS Engineering 💡 Practical insights you can apply to your retrofit and strengthening projects immediately 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Structural Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers

A firestop system's job doesn't end at fire resistance. Over its operational life, it may need to block sound, resist explosions, stay watertight — often all at once. 📉 Join us for an insightful session on Advanced Fire Protection presented by our experts from Hilti, and discover how multi-attribute systems and emerging standards are shaping the next level of fire protection. What you'll learn 👇 🔥 Understanding fire protection at an advanced level 🔇 Acoustic performance in firestopping — balancing sound & safety 💥 Explosion resistance: protecting assets in high-risk environments 💧 Water tightness & leakage scenarios in fire-rated assemblies 🛡️ Multi-attribute systems: meeting multiple performance criteria simultaneously 📐 Complex penetration scenarios & engineering judgments 📋 Navigating UL, ASTM & EN standards at an advanced level 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Fire Engineers | Structural Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers | HSE

⚠️ Your project specification says 120-year design working life. Now what? Major infrastructure projects — bridges, tunnels, metros, ports — increasingly demand a 120-year design working life 📉 yet most post-installed connections are qualified and designed for just 50 years. That gap is a real compliance risk, and it surfaces at the worst possible time: during design approval. Join our technical session and learn how to design post-installed connections for a 120-year working life with full confidence 👇 🌉 Why extended design working life is becoming standard on major infrastructure projects 🧮 How long design lifetimes influence connection design — explained through practical examples 💻 How to handle all of it efficiently, demonstrated live in PROFIS Engineering 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Structural Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers |

In a data center, every minute of downtime costs money — and a single fire event can put critical infrastructure and data at risk. 📉 Protecting these facilities demands fire protection strategies built for their unique environment. Join us for an expert-led session on Fire Protection in Data Centers presented by our specialists from Hilti. What you'll learn 👇 🔥 Why fire protection is mission-critical in data centers 🖥️ Understanding the unique fire risks in server rooms & data halls 🔌 Firestopping solutions for high-density cable penetrations 🛡️ Maintaining compartmentation without disrupting operations ✅ Special products tested & approved for data center environments 📋 Meeting standards for data center fire safety 🏗️ Real-world case studies: lessons from large-scale data center projects 👥 Who should attend: Data Center Designers | IT Infrastructure Engineers | Fire Engineers | Consultants | Contractors | Specifiers | Facility Managers | Developers

Facade, elevator, and building services connections are often the most tolerance-critical points on a project — and drilling into congested, heavily reinforced concrete makes them harder still. 📉 In this webinar session, we will cover the design considerations behind anchor channel connections and their benefits. What you'll learn 👇 🧱 What anchor channels are and how the cast-in system works 📐 Design considerations behind anchor channel connections ⚡ Benefits of anchor channels: faster installation, improved productivity, and increased structural reliability 🏙️ Typical applications: curtain wall facades, elevators, and building services 💻 Designing anchor channel connections in PROFIS Engineering 👥 Who should attend: Consultants | Structural Engineers | Facade Engineers | Contractors | Specifiers | Developers

In a hospital, evacuation is not always an option — patients in operation theatres, ICUs, and isolation wards depend entirely on the building's ability to contain fire and smoke. Join us for a specialist session on Fire Protection in Healthcare Facilities presented by our experts from Hilti. What you'll learn 👇 🏥 Fire safety challenges unique to hospitals, clinics & clean rooms 🧪 Mineral fibre-free firestopping: why it matters in healthcare environments 🛡️ Preformed devices vs. traditional solutions: performance & hygiene advantages ♻️ Reusable firestopping solutions for operation theatres & controlled areas 🔌 Maintaining compartmentation during facility upgrades & cable modifications 📋 Compliance with healthcare-specific fire codes & standards 👥 Who should attend: Healthcare Facility Managers | Fire Engineers | Hospital Project Consultants | Contractors | Specifiers | Infection Control Officers | Developers | MEP Engineers
