Erosion and sediment control: Management, planning and compliance

Download program ...

Our erosion and sediment control course will provide participants with a suite of best practice procedures for erosion, sediment and drainage control on construction and building sites in accordance with the requirements of the International Erosion Control Association Australasia.

Learning outcomes

• An ability to plan and design an effective erosion and sediment control plan.
• An ability to assess the suitability of an erosion and sediment control plan.

Participants will develop an understanding of

• Key principles of erosion and sediment control.
• How to select the most appropriate temporary drainage, erosion and sediment control measures for your site.
• Key steps in the development of erosion and sediment control plans.
• Model codes of practice: General construction, building sites and installation of services.
• Potential erosion hazard of a work site.
• Typical development approval conditions, for use in the management of land-disturbing activities.
• Site inspection checklists to ensure appropriate site management and compliance in accordance with erosion and sediment control plans.
  

Participants will develop skills in application of:

• site planning checklists
• the iAuditor tool
• detailed checklist for assessing erosion and sediment control plans.

Who should attend?

• Consulting engineers responsible for planning erosion and sediment control plans for construction sites.
• Development assessment officers responsible for compliance assessment of erosion and sediment control plans (formerly referred to as soil erosion and drainage management plans).
• Local and state government project managers/site supervisors responsible for construction supervision.
