Join us online for three Emerging Professional presentations:
▸ Nick Ostrovsky (Australia): Hazard & risk assessment: approaching hazards through a risk-based lens, incorporating them into assessments using tools like TotalRisk, and navigating unusual scenarios such as flood debris and spillway blockage.
▸ Julia Tan (Australia): Quantifying failure timing and emergency response using LifeSIM: how operational readiness and detection time can meaningfully reduce risk during extreme events.
▸ Kurt Davies (New Zealand): A case study in remedial works at an existing earthfill water storage dam, managing natural hazard risks on complex geological foundations.
From risk frameworks and consequence modelling to real-world remediation — this session covers the full spectrum of what it means to manage dam safety under pressure.
The ANCOLD & NZSOLD Emerging Professionals are back with another online session this August, bringing together three practitioners tackling the real complexity of natural hazard risk at dams.
