| Welcome the ASCE Bluegrass Branch website. |
| March 19, 2010 – Bluegrass Branch Meeting Please join us this Friday, March 19 at noon in the downstairs conference room at the Central Library in downtown Lexington for this month's ASCE meeting. See http://www.lexpublib.org/location/central-library for parking and location information. The focus of the meeting will be a technical presentation of "International Code Council Special Inspections" and attendees will be awarded 1 PDH. In 2007, the Commonwealth of Kentucky adopted the 2007 Kentucky Building Code (2007 KBC), an adaptation of the International Building Code (IBC) to develop a set of codes and standards for residential and commercial construction. The Kentucky Building Code is a living document, evolving with new technology and advancements in the industry, with the ultimate goal of creating safe buildings and communities. The presentation will provide an overview of when Special Inspections are required, define Special Inspections items and how to develop a Special Inspections program, define the duties of your Special Inspector, and outline ways that a Special Inspections program on your project may reduce the Design Professional's liability exposure. Please register by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, March 17 Lunch will be catered and the cost is $10.00. If you prefer a vegetarian or Lenten option, please indicate your preference with your reservation.
