Temporary Works

Temporary works (TW) are the parts of a construction project that are needed to enable the permanent works to be built.  Usually the TW are removed after use e.g. access scaffolds, props, shoring, excavation support, falsework and formwork, but sometimes the TW is incorporated into the permanent works e.g. haul road foundations, permanent formwork for suspended floors and crane or piling platforms, which may be used for hardstanding or road foundations.  

This exam will suit temporary works specialists who are familiar with the content of BS 597.

There will be 20 questions and you have 60 minutes in which to sit the exam.
