Liquefaction Webinar Dec 15 2021
Channel: Tasman District Council
Date: 2021-12-21

Changes from the November 2019 Building Code Update have revised Acceptable Solution B1/AS1 to ensure new buildings are built safe and strong enough to withstand liquefaction effects. What this means is that since the 29 November 2021, building consent applications which nominate B1/AS1 as the compliance pathway for foundations, will need to include confirmation that the specific ground is not prone to liquefaction. 

In this online event, Tasman District Council Building Consent Manager Ian McCauley and Building Assurance Technical Lead Bevan Barker will be joined by Natural Hazards Scientist Glenn Stevens to talk through the building consent requirements for liquefaction-prone ground and how it relates to our new region-wide liquefaction map.
