Focus is on the techniques and procedures used to document an inspection and the formats and writing of inspection reports 3. Analysing the Operation and Maintenance Plan / Manual (OMM) • Overview of the operation and Maintenance plan • Establishing and maintain an Emergency Preparedness Program designed to mitigate the effects of natural disasters or unexpected impacts on Dam management • Learn how to Organise an Operation and Maintenance Program focusing on the importance of maintenance to dam safety, and provides information on planning, implementing, and evaluating an operation and maintenance program 4. Strategies for Extending Service Life of Dams Positively identifying foundation problems and solutions • Providing an overview of design and construction of recent dam projects • Discussing the major issues that were faced during the design phase of the project • Describing how challenges were addressed during and throughout the construction of recent dam • Managing the remediation work: Stepping through the major hurdles and identifying the solutions that were used • Innovative rehabilitation technologies to address repair challenges • Advanced methods for increasing reservoir storage and spillway discharge capacity • Non-structural approaches to facility life extension Innovative Surveillance and Monitoring Systems • Emerging technologies for monitoring dams and their foundations • Performance evaluation of dams using monitoring data • Design and construction of instrumentation systems considering operations and • maintenance requirements 5. Emergency Preparedness Plans (EPP) • Defining the environment for emergency preparedness • Planning the best practices and implementing (EPP) • Evaluation of Facility Emergency Preparedness. Providing instructions on how to evaluate the adequacy of site conditions and procedures, and how to inspect and evaluate the adequacy of the emergency 6.

Dam Safety Risk Awareness, Organisation, and Implementation • Dam Safety Awareness. • Emphasises the importance of dam safety, and provides information on the major features of dams and how they function, the causes and consequences of dam failure, responsibilities and liabilities of dam owners, considerations for the safety of the public around dams, and the elements and implementation of an effective dam safety program. • How to Organise a Dam Safety Program. Provides step by step guidance on developing a dam safety program. Understanding components of a dam safety program, the steps needed to establish those components, and the resources available to help establish and operate a program. 4. Effective Management of Dams • Inspection of Embankment Dams. Provides guidance on how to inspect the slopes, crest, and adjacent areas of an embankment dam, and on identifying deficiencies • Inspection of Spillways and Outlet Works. Provides guidance on how to inspect entrance channels, intake structures, control sections, water conveyances, energy dissipation sections, and return channels, and on identifying deficiencies. • Inspection and Testing of Gates, Valves, and Other Mechanical Systems. Gives specific guidance on how to inspect common types of gates and valves, electrical and hydraulic power systems, auxiliary power systems and ancillary equipment, and on identifying deficiencies. 5. Implementation of Operation and Maintenance • Dam Failure and maintenance actions • Maintenance of spillways and control structures • Inspection, operation and maintenance checklist 6. Implementation of Upgrading, Betterment Works • Evaluation of Concrete Dam Stability. o Purpose of evaluating the structural stability of existing concrete dams o Remedial measures for potentially unstable concrete dams, • Evaluation of Embankment Dam Stability and Deformation o The purpose of evaluating the structural stability of existing embankment dams, o Remedial measures for excessive settlement and potentially unstable embankment dams • Evaluation of Seepage Conditions and practices to control seepage o Various modes of failure related to seepage, o Remedial measures that may be implemented to control seepage and/or reduce its threat to the safety of a dam • Corrective Maintenance • Emergency action plans 16:30 Summary and end of Masterclass Workshop times 07:30 – 08:25 Registration and Morning Tea 08:25 – 08:30 Welcome and opening remarks 08:30 Workshop Starts 10:00 – 10:30 Networking Over Tea 12:30 – 13:30 Networking Lunch 15:00 – 15:15 Networking Over Tea 16:30 Close of Day VISIT OUR WEBSITE: www.amabhubesi.com TEL: +27 11 326 0353 • FAX: +27 11 326 0354
