Tailings Dams (May 2014) – MODULES 1 to 4 (Full Seminar)
Tailings dams are critical elements in most mine operations throughout Australia but it is evident that many of these dams have not been implemented and sustainably managed in line with modern day “risk management” approaches. This course is being provided to assist tailings dam owners, and their professional staff and advisers to provide up-to-date information on how to plan, implement, operate and sustainably close their dams in a safe and effective manner consistent with various Government and “duty of care” obligations.
Includes access to the following videos:
- Background – Norm Himsley 52:03

Dam Spillways (May 2015) – MODULES 1 TO 4
Full course
COURSE OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE
This short course is designed so that engineers and other dam professionals both young and more experienced will better understand the essential ingredients of investigation, design, operation, maintenance and safety for spillways and outlets for new and existing dams and associated upgrades.While ensuring the basics are properly understood, there will be a strong focus on what is the approaches, issues and risks associated modern dam spillways & outlets requirements – what you need to know, whether a dam owner/manager/operator, consultant, regulator or a professional with a strong interest in dams.
Dam Spillways will look at spillways which are being called upon to handle larger and larger discharges due to revisions to hydrology data, trends in risk evaluation and other issues. It covers both broad criteria for sound spillways (including ungated, gated & fused spillways) and the specific criteria to enable a proper understanding of how and why spillways work or don’t work or what needs to be improved, how to be confident in their operation, how to maintain them and overall make them safe. It will include descriptions of a range of cases – particularly those which have shown a new understanding and respect for large discharges, risks and overall safety and best practice management of spillways.

Technical Seminar: Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams Day 2 (March 2012) – MODULES 1 TO 4
Full course
This seminar emphasises the importance of periodic evaluation of the safety of existing dams, and provides specific information and guidance on the visual and instrumented monitoring of the various types of dams and their appurtenant structures. Failure modes analysis is stressed as the basis for an effective and efficient monitoring program. At the conclusion of the course, attendees will have a thorough understanding of the procedures and techniques essential to carrying out meaningful dam safety evaluations and monitoring, and should be able to apply these principles to improve their own effectiveness and the effectiveness of their dam safety programs.

Dam Outlets will look at the other key passage of water passed a dam – outlets. Like spillways it will cover both broad criteria for sound outlets (including intakes) and the specific criteria on the various purposes and types of outlets and in some cases combined with spillways or power generation. Experience of the presenters and case studies will provide a key input into the issues, risks, environmental aspects (such as thermal and fish passage) and overall safety and best practice design and management of outlets. Importantly the presentation will provide an essential insight into the new ANCOLD guideline on outlets currently being prepared.
