Training
Our training programs are practical, hands-on and interesting and use real-world examples.
Half Day Course – The Basics of Erosion and Sediment Control (IECA Approved Training)
This workshop is designed to give participants a fundamental, practical overview of best-practice erosion and sediment control. It runs for about three to four hours.
The workshop is designed to be relevant for anyone involved in civil works, from those who prepare and review plans for erosion and sediment control to those who are responsible for installing, maintaining, overseeing or inspecting site works. It aims to equip participants with the fundamental knowledge and skill to address erosion and sediment control issues on any site.
The workshop includes a powerpoint-style presentation with photo examples, a discussion forum, basic group exercises and numerous question times. It is designed to be interactive, engaging and interesting.
The range of topics covered is tailored according to the audience, so that those issues most relevant to them are addressed.
One Day Course – Fundamentals of Erosion and Sediment Control (IECA Approved Training)
One Day Course – ESC for Regulators (IECA Approved Training)
A variant of this one-day Fundamentals of ESC course is also available. This course is suited to local Council and State Government regulatory staff. It includes the following additional content and provides participants with the following:
- Ability to critically analyse the compliance of on site erosion and sediment control with regard to legislation and recommended industry practice;
- Provides an understanding of site inspections and investigations and the consequences of non-compliance.
4 Day ESC Blue Book or IECA White Book Erosion and Sediment Control Training
SEEC offer a series of four workshops that train participants in key aspects of erosion and sediment control. These workshops go beyond the basic, onsite issues of installation and maintenance to include the design issues behind specific control measures, plus preparing or reviewing plans for erosion and sediment control.
Participants can attend one, two, three or all four workshops, although must complete the previous workshops before attending the latter days. Registrations for single workshops 2, 3 and 4 will not be accepted unless the prior day’s workshops have been completed. Depending on location the training is either based around the NSW Blue Book or the IECA White Book
- Workshop 1 introduces the fundamentals of erosion and sediment control framework as they apply to all sites.
- Workshop 2 builds on workshop 1 and identifies key design issues in the Blue/White Book. It aims to guide participants through the manuals and highlight the most relevant parts.
- Workshop 3 is all about water management on construction sites – sediment basins and diversion structures.
- Workshop 4 gives participants the chance to practice designing and reviewing plans for erosion and sediment control on a range of different land uses (e.g. subdivisions, roads, high-density housing).
This course is approved by the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) and is designed to provide a comprehensive basis for anyone wanting to become a certified erosion and sediment control professional (see RSP-ESC at www.austieca.com.au)
