Infrastructure Water Retaining Structures

This webinar invites three prominent industry practitioners to discuss the design and construction of Infrastructure Water Retaining Structures. It takes a close look at concrete crack widths for levels of watertightness, lessons that have been learnt by actual construction examples, and takes a close look at the client’s perspective in terms of their needs and requirements.
Design and Construction of Concrete Water Retaining Structures Lessons Learned
Presenter: Hossein Jafarzadeh, Jacobs
This presentation covers a range of experiences and lessons learnt relevant to materials, design and construction of water retaining structures, in addition to discussing relevance to specific code provisions and authorities’ requirements.
Crack Width & Concrete Considerations
Presenter: Dean Wearne, GHD
This presentation considers concrete crack widths for levels of watertightness, including concrete requirements for design and construction of water retaining structures. It covers the key requirements, understanding crack width expectations and levels of water tightness, differing code and water authority specification approaches to water tightness, and looks at specific project examples.
A Client’s Perspective
Presenter: Lachlan McGregor, Goulburn Valley Water
