In partnership with British Water, we are proud to host a webinar following the release of the Sustainable Water Management Focus Group's new publication "How to Guide: Applying the CIRIA SuDS Manual (C753) Simple Index Approach to Proprietary/Manufactured Stormwater Treatment Devices". The guide is intended to help designers and specifiers to interpret results from the…
This hands-on session is specifically tailored for highway designers and eng ineers to provide you with a more detailed understanding of how to design SuDS from start to finish within highways schemes. This event will take place on two separate half-day mornings - on 02nd and 10th March 2022, from 9.30 - 12.00. Spaces are limited…
Although there had been a handful of small, innovative NFM projects in the past, the UK government’s natural flood management programme was introduced to understand more fully how nature-based solutions can be used at a large scale as part of the toolbox to reduce flood risk and improve habitats. This webinar will provide an overview…
This Focus Group has been formed to provide manufacturers/suppliers with a route through which to monitor and lobby in relation to, the development of SUDS Regulations and to promote engineered SUDS components within the overall design and application of SUDS. The Focus Group works with the environmental regulators to develop and publish guidance information and…
This joint webinar brought to you by the CIWEM Northern Ireland branch and the Institute of Water NI will provide an overview of the LWWP, Belfast Strategic Drainage Infrastructure Plan that was published in November 2021. Our speakers will explore the key challenges that must be overcome to protect against flooding whilst enhancing the environment…
Brought to you by CIWEM Tyne & Humber branch and Stantec, this first webinar in a two-part series will explore catchment system opportunities, with the second focusing on solutions. Catchment investigation is a significant part of developing water and wastewater solutions. The Government has defined over 100 major water catchments in England and has identified…
Wide-ranging presentation covering urban tree planting, sustainable drainage systems and green wall planting specifically designed to not only help adapt to climate change but to create safer, cleaner, and healthier towns and cities for future generations. Species choice, best practice planting methods and incorporation of sustainable drainage systems open new possibilities that will enhance our…
Many excavations and tunnels experience problems and instability caused by uncontrolled groundwater inflows or pressures. Groundwater control measures are used to overcome these problems and create stable and workably dry conditions below groundwater level. A key challenge for designers is that the performance of the various techniques is strongly influenced by the hydrogeological conditions at…
This introductory session will explore the multiple benefits of delivering water sensitive design solutions for public realm projects large and small. Find out more here.
A key component of resilience planning is the creation and maintenance of detailed planning and the provision of adequate training to guide those tasked with responding to events that threaten to and sometimes disrupt the key activities that are essential to the operation of any organisation. This short presentation will look at this component from…
Join Adam Parkes, Head of Discipline for Hydrology at Jacobs, to learn how Flood Modeller enables you to confidently understand flood risk and develop optimal solutions to manage the impacts of climate change. How climate change affects multiple sources of flooding (rain, rivers, coastal) Requirements for considering climate change in the UK Uncertainty in estimates…
