Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams Day 3 – MODULES 1-4 – Full Course
Technical Seminar: Safety Evaluation of Existing Dams Day 3 – MODULE 1- 4
Full Course
This seminar emphasizes 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.
Includes access to the following videos:
- Operation and Maintenance Considerations -Chris Danley 25:08
- Inspection of Spillways, Outlet Works, and Mechanical Equipment – Chris Danley 51:08
- Failure Modes Analysis Exercise – Part I. – Gregg Scott 57:30
- Failure Modes Analysis Exercise – Part II. – Gregg Scott 1:18:33
- Evaluation of Facility Emergency Preparedness – Chris Danley 27:59
- Emergency and Special Inspections – Jay Stateler 46:37

Retarding Basin Fundamentals (April 2013) – MODULES 1-4 – Full course
Learn moreRetarding Basin Fundamentals (April 2013) – MODULE 1 TO 4
Full course
Retarding basins are becoming increasingly important elements in urban flood planning throughout Australia but it is evident that many basins have not been implemented in line with modern day “risk management” approaches. Accordingly, as part of its Professional Development program, and in advance of its proposed Guideline on Retarding Basins due out in 2014, the Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) is planning a series of seminars across Australia on Retarding Basin Fundamentals. The seminars are being provided to assist basin owners, and their professional staff and advisors, to plan, implement and operate their basins in a safe and effective manner consistent with various Government and “duty of care” obligations.
The one day seminars are being presented by leading dam safety and risk management professionals including:
Richard Rodd- dams consultant with over 40 years experience in dam and basin design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Kelly Maslin-dams consultant with over 15 years experience in dams and risk management.
Norm Himsley-dams consultant and member of NSW Dam Safety Committee with over 40 years experience in dam and basin design, construction, operation and maintenance.
Includes access to the following videos:
- Introduction, Background and Guidelines – Norm Himsley, Richard Rodd and Kelly Maslin 43.37
- Hydrology, Hydraulics and Questions – Norm Himsley, Richard Rodd and Kelly Maslin 41.40
- Geotechnical Investigations – Norm Himsley, Richard Rodd and Kelly Maslin 52.17
- Basic Design Matters – Norm Himsley, Richard Rodd and Kelly Maslin 51.33
- Special Design Matters – Norm Himsley, Richard Rodd and Kelly Maslin 13.32
- Design Case Study – Norm Himsley 22.16
- Construction, Operation and Maintenance plus Emergency – Norm Himsley 38.04

Dambreak & Consequences (September 2013) – MODULES 1 to 5
Full course
An understanding of the consequences of dam failure is essential in dam safety emergency planning and as an input to risk assessment. In recent years there has been significant advances in hydraulic modelling and access to high quality elevation data which has revolutionised dambreak modelling. The advent of risk based approaches has increased the focus on estimating the consequence of dam failure and particularly the potential loss of life. The method developed by the USBR in 1999 has had widespread application in Australia and in recent years a number of more sophisticated simulation approaches have been developed. This session will cover the latest developments in dambreak modelling and the estimation of potential loss of life from dam failure.
This course is designed to present the state of practice on these matters for dam safety risk management. The 2 days are designed for both experienced and less experienced dam owners, regulators and consultants.
Includes access to the following videos:
- Dambreak and Consequence Assessment Overview – Peter Hill 15:41
- Dam Breach Parameters – Grantley Smith 23:22
- Dambreak Modelling – Grantley Smith 38:04
- Concurrent Floods – Peter Hill 22:18
- Loss of Life Case Histories – Wayne Graham 1:25:39
- Guidance in Estimating Loss of Life – Wayne Graham 58:52
- Recent Developments in Estimating Loss of Life – Simon Lang 50:24
- Severity of Damage and Loss (Economic, Social and Environmental Consequences) – Simon Lang 16:09
- Severity of Damage and Loss (Economic, Social and Environmental Consequences) – Wayne Graham 18:31
- Welcome and Introductions – Robert James 10:35
