CSA CONFERENCE

Unfortunately due to the Covid pandemic, this event has now been postponed. We hope to re-schedule it in March 2022 by which time the public health measures and the personal sacrifices we’ve all made over the past year will have had the desired effect, and life will have returned to some semblance of normality. More information confirming the new date and venue details will follow as soon as possible.

The CSA Awards will not be going ahead as planned and will be postponed until 11th November 2021.

All sponsorship, table bookings and entry submissions will be honoured for this new dateline and will be carried forward accordingly.

These are quite extraordinary times, the likes of which none of us have seen in our lifetime and the commercial impact for many businesses, large and small, will be considerable, but if we all share the burden and work together, we will survive these unparalleled challenges and come through the other side. As such, we would thank you for your continued support and understanding in this most difficult of situations.

The CSA Awards are back and calling for your entries!

It’s your chance to prove to peers, clients and competitors that you’re at the top of your game!

Building on the success of the 2018 event, which saw the awards ceremony move to central London, the 2021 CSA Awards Dinner will be held at the Guoman Tower Hotel. Nestled amidst the River Thames, the Tower of London and St Katherine Docks, with spectacular views of Tower Bridge, this venue will allow the awards to further develop and make London its home for years to come.

For anyone involved with ‘commissioning’, this awards programme provides the perfect platform to get your achievements noticed.

Entry is easy and completely free of charge. Just visit www.csa-awards.co.uk to complete an online entry form.

And if selected as a Finalist, enjoy some fantastic publicity. Experience amazing hospitality, celebrate with colleagues, network with peers and be part of the commissioning industry’s best celebration.

The date: 11th November 2021.

Introduction to Commissioning Management 2-day Course

Established in 1990, the CSA is an association for the commissioning industry within the construction world. Its membership comprises commissioning industry companies, individual commissioning engineers and associated companies (such as equipment manufacturers and instrument suppliers), who have a vested interest in ensuring that the commissioning function in today's complex built environment is carried out to a uniformly high standard.

With an already established and renowned portfolio of training courses, the CSA has constructed the ‘Introduction to Commissioning Management’ course to give real life insight and guidance to the entire Commissioning Management Process.

This 2-day course is split into 8 sessions, providing exercises to assess and guide Delegates through specific activities.  Each session contains:

• the source material
• detailed guidance through the process
• an interactive session “exercise” to end each session

On successful completion of all 8 sessions each delegate will be awarded a CSA Introduction to Commissioning Management certificate and CSA members who are a Grade 5 and have the relevant path of development experience would then be able to apply for their Grade 6.

NEW TM 17

This Technical Memorandum is intended to explain the theory and practice of:

How Differential Pressure Control Values (DPCV) control water flow rates.  The effect on flow rates as 2 port control valves open and close.  How DPCVs are commissioned.

By understanding how a DPCV works and how flow rates can vary in zones controlled (protected) by a DPCV, the Commissioning Engineer should be better equipped to understand and interpret commissioning results in relation to DPCV systems.

Available free to CSA members as a download from the CSA Website or £24.00 to non members.  Contact the CSA office 01403 754133 e-mail: office@csa.org.uk
