REGISTRATIONS ARE CLOSED
Date

Time
8.45am – 5.00pm
Venue
Brisbane CBD (TBC)
Course Outline
This course provides training on the fundamentals of swale and sedimentation basin design at operational and post-construction phases. Please note that this course does not address construction phase sediment basins. The training will be based on the Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland (Version 1, June 2006) and will cover recent advancements since publication of the guidelines.
Key Learnings
- Understand the science behind why and how swales and sediment basins work.
- Be aware of how to design a treatment train using swales and sediment basins.
- Recognise common mistakes to avoid in the design and implementation of swales and sediment basins, and common pitfalls when submitting a development application with these WSUD measures.
- Be familiar with the design method for swales and sediment basins as detailed in the WSUD Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland (Version 1, June 2006).
- Be aware of design techniques to minimise maintenance.
Who should attend?
The training course will assist practitioners seeking a working understanding of swale and sediment basin processes and design issues. Knowledge of swale and sediment basin systems is not a prerequisite.
Presenter
The training course will be presented by Tony Weber (BMT WBM Pty Ltd). Tony has been involved with the implementation of WSUD for the last 8 years in both local government and the consulting industry. Tony was a key contributor to the WSUD Technical Design Guidelines for South East Queensland (Version 1, June 2006).
