AEG is proud to host this unique workshop that focuses on the role and contribution of engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers in the Risk Informed Decision Making (RIDM) process in managing dam and levee safety programs. 

 

In today's world, effective risk management is paramount. This workshop directly addresses the challenges you face in identifying and communicating geological potential failure modes to Risk Assessment (RA) teams. You'll gain a substantial understanding of RA methodologies and their practical implementation in assessing the integrity of dam and levee foundations.

 

The workshop offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from recognized leaders in the dams and levees geotechnical profession and to interact with them through discussions and evening activities.  These individuals are shaping the future of dam and levee safety. 

 

Here's a glimpse of what you'll experience:

• Day One: We'll introduce several Risk-Informed Dam and Levee Safety Program frameworks, highlighting the central role of the geo-professionals in ensuring their success. Discover how to effectively contribute to a comprehensive risk management strategy.

• Day Two: We'll delve deeper into the practical application of risk assessment with interactive exercises designed to build your confidence and competence in SQRA techniques. You'll leave with tangible skills you can implement immediately.

• Day Three: Real-world case studies will showcase successful applications of risk assessment, followed by an invaluable opportunity to hear directly from dam safety experts on their vision for the future of risk assessment and the vital contribution of geo-professionals.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our dedicated planning committee, esteemed speakers, and valued sponsors for their unwavering commitment to making this Risk Assessment for Dam and Levee Foundations Workshop a resounding success.

 

We encourage you to fully immerse yourselves in this unique learning environment. Share your experiences, ask questions, and forge lasting connections. This is your opportunity to enhance your expertise, expand your network, and become a driving force in the advancement of dam and levee safety.

 

Welcome, and we look forward to a productive and rewarding workshop!
