Join us for a webinar on Thursday 3rd September as we explore design and standards surrounding water treatment and detention storage for urban design.
In recent years Stormwater Treatment and Detention Systems have become common place in the Australian market. This is as a result of new developments comprising of little to no natural infiltration which has subsequently led to high flow and run off into surrounding land and council infrastructure.
New developments are now required to control flows and water quality discharging from sites. Traditionally controlling flows was via open basins or above ground tanks, but due to increasing limited space, trafficable underground tanks are now becoming commonplace.
In this webinar our industry experts will explore what testing requirements and Australian Standards are best practice for modern trafficable storm water systems. They will outline the storm water quality criteria and look at a range of stormwater systems available, examining their selections through the use case studies.
Key Themes:
• Best Practice and Innovation for water treating and detention storage
• Australia Standers for testing of trafficable and storm water systems
• Differentiating between high and low quality products
• Overview of Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Process (SQIDEP) testing guidelines and Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation (MUSIC) modelling

Guest Speakers
Sam Kowald
State Manager | Urban Asset Solutions Pty Ltd
Sam has a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Science from Flinders University in South Australia and has a personal interest in the effects stormwater can have on the marine environment. He has 9 years of experience working for Urban Asset Solutions which is a stormwater solutions company, specialising in stormwater filtration device manufacture, designing custom solutions and maintaining stormwater assets.
Sam has developed expertise in the MUSIC by eMusic software for the last 7 years, working with consultants around Australia to help meet their local Water Quality Objectives. Sam has also spent the last 3 to 4 years corresponding with an independent field testing contractor as well as the University of Adelaide with the aim of retesting treatment systems in accordance with the parameters set out in the SQIDEP guidelines (Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Evaluation Process).
Ben Lewis
National Business Development Manager - Dewatering, Geomembranes & Trafficable Stormwater Systems | Geofabrics Australasia
Ben has a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from The University of Adelaide and had a strong focus in geotechnical engineering during his studies. He began his career as a Civil and Geotechnical Engineer with FMG Engineering in Adelaide and honed his geotechnical and civil design skills while employed there for 6 years.
Beyond that, Ben has been employed by Geofabrics Australasia as a Technical Sales Engineer focussed in optimising designs through the use of geosynthetics. Solutions ranging from road and rail stabilisation, to coastal protection to drainage and erosion control. In his current role as National Business Development Manager for Water he is focussed in product development, design and developing awareness for Geotube® Dewatering systems, specialised geomembranes and more importantly, stormwater detention systems.
In his time focussed on stormwater, he has come across many detention systems on the Australian market. Systems ranging from modular arches to modular crates to prefabricated concrete systems. As a result, he has a strong understanding of the testing, codes and standards that should be considered when specifying a suitable but economical system. Ben also understands the need to wade through the marketing jargon in order to isolate product benefits and disadvantages which are often hidden behind the glossy pictures.
