BCC engineering breakfast August 2019
Most important medical break through since 1840 is improvements to sanitation
Antibiotics
Anesthesia
More people have access to phones than toilets e.g. Cambodia, only has 1 water treatment plant
Marlene kanga, pres of world engineers? Sustainability
Anything is possible is key take away.
Gavin blakey
James charalambous, Brisbane River flooding 20 years of learning
Concepts of flooding
Residual flood risk
1% aep, $3b , 46k prop
Bigger events more impact
Live at floodplain at bottom of catchment
Digital terrain model shows capacity of river
History ( history of lost flood plain)
Lots of flooding in 1800s
History becomes legend, then a myth
Don't forget the past e.e. 1893 Feb event.
Probability of an event occuring
Becoming Brisbane and impact of flooda
Indigenous knew to not settle in flood zones
1893 flood - water supply reports
1974 flood - built Wivenhoe dma
2011 -reporta, more flood resistance infrastructure, flood action plans. Strategy
Everyf flood is different - impact of dama
Wivenhoe saved 99 from impacting like 74
2011 was double peak, first epak captured by dam, second requir d release
Council contributions to regional flood studies
Disaster mgmt, operational, models, mostly 1d
Planning level models, some 2d and 1d,
Helical shaper of velocity profile in water depth
Structural design, 3d - ferries terminal
City gauge, port office gauge show current river levels
Building a flood resilient Brisbane - ouswatta perera
BCC has more flood engineers than many councils
Planning areas - risk , what U can build
Voluntary home purchase to get people out of the flood plain
Floodwise sensors measuring every 5 minutes, floodwise data, mostly council?
All our flood studies, maps, this data is publically available
Flood resilient home program - incentive based for new homes.
Catherine papa - BCC rpeq guideline
Act 2002
Do I provide an engineering service
