The Conference theme “Dam Decisions: Past Experiences, Future Challenges“ is intended to challenge all involved in the dams industry to consider how asset management can be embraced as a comprehensive and structured approach to the long-term management of dam related assets to:
- Improve stewardship
- Improve communications and relationships
- Improve risk management
- Improve financial efficiency
Conference sub themes include:
- Regulatory, Planning, Public Consultation and Environmental Issues
- Dam Safety – Dam Behaviour, Surveillance and Emergency Planning
- Operations and Maintenance
- Construction, Upgrade, Modification and Decommissioning
The Technical Conference will begin with a Workshop to be held on November 3 and covers the following topics:
- Guidelines on Assessment of the Consequences of Dam Failure
- Guidelines on Tailings Dams Design, Construction and Operation
This year a choice of either a two day post conference tour between 6 and 7 November 2010 incorporating an overnight stay, or a choice of two one day post conference tours on the 6 November 2010, is available. In keeping with the theme of the conference, the tours will incorporate a mix of historical sites, recently constructed works and upgrades currently underway and is sure to be of interest to both delegates and partners.
- 2 Day West Coast Post Conference Technical Tour
- 1 Day Gordon Dam & Power Station Post Conference Technical Tour
- 1 Day Hobart and Environs Post Conference Technical Tour
If you are part of the dams community (owner, developer, regulatory authority representative, professional, operator or maintainer) then this conference is intended for you.

2nd International Congress on Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Zaragoza, Spain
DEADLINE FOR EARLY REGISTRATION 15 September 2010
Click here for the latest update
As I am sure you are aware, the current world economic situation is leading to alterations in the normal development of activities. The European Trade Union Confederation (CES) has called for demonstrations due to start on 29th September to coincide with the EU Council of Economy and Finances (ECOFIN) Meeting in Brussels. Consequently, Spain is due to hold a general strike on the same day, which unfortunately clashes with the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Dams Congress in Zaragoza.
In view of the situation, and the possibility that the general strike may greatly hinder the congress developments, the organisation has decided to postpone the congr ess. The event will now take place between 23rd and 25th November, 2010, in the same planned venue, and under the same conditions. The only necessary change will be the registration deadlines. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
(click here to download the new programe)
The congress secretariat will shortly be in touch with all registered participants in order to reconfirm the registrations.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the change of dates, which we feel has been necessary for the congress’ success. Finally, we would like to extend our wishes to see as many participants as possible in Zaragoza in November, as the congress promises to be of huge interest, highlighted by the fact that we have received over 120 papers for the scientific programme.
The organisation.

Abstract deadline of International Symposium on Modern Technologies and Long-term Behavior of Dams
The East Asian Dam Conference (EADC) has been successfully held for 6 times since 2004. These 6 meetings have greatly improved the technical communications and cooperation among China, Japan, Korea and Sweden .The 7th EADC Symposium will be held in 2011 in China.
The International Conference on Long Term Behavior of Dams (LTBD) is organized by Universities of China and Austria. The 3th LTBD will be held in 2011 in China.
After discussion among the related organizations and universities, the two conferences will be
combined as “International Symposium on Modern Technologies and Long-term Behavior of Dams”, which will be held from September 27 to 29 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China.
The deadline for submitting abstracts for the Symposium (27~29 Sept., zhengzhou) is rapidly approaching. If you would like to contribute a paper for possible presentation at this major international event, please contact us with your abstract, and completed submission form, by 31 October 2010.
