SUMMARY:State of Ocean Energy in Australia - FREE Webinar 5 Aug 2021
DESCRIPTION:PIANC NSW Chapter invites you to an online technical event on\nOcean Energy in Australia. \nThursday 5 August 2021 5.30pm – 7pm AEST \nA recording of this webinar is now available online.\nThe session includes presentations by three leading Australian researchers and industry experts discussing subjects including Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) in Australia\, offshore energy and opportunities in the Great Southern Coast and Wave Swell Technology. \nThis is a FREE Event but REGISTRATIONS are essential. \nAny enquiries about registrations\, please contact:\nShahab.Hosseini@ghd.com or kenan.aldemir@wsp.com \n\nPresentations: \nFrancois Flocard – Marine Renewable Energies (MRE): While solar and wind are clear leaders in Australia’s current renewable market. Marine Renewable Energies (MRE)\, i.e. tidal\, marine currents and wave energy\, could become an additional solution for the future Australian renewable mix. \nAustralia’s coasts are home to the world’s best wave energy resource in the south\, while the north\, with its large tidal ranges\, is ideal for the implementation of tidal energy projects. MRE have seen major developments in Australia in the last two years\, both in the research sphere and industry-led projects. \nThis talk will introduce the audience to the marine renewable resources around our coasts and their specificities. It will also provide a snapshot of the main technologies under development around the world as well as the different activities currently happening around Australia. \nChristophe Gaudin – Offshore energy and opportunities: The mitigation of the impact of climate change on our coasts and oceans requires a rapid decarbonisation of our economy with engagement at all levels of society\, from communities\, regions and governments\, to numerous other stakeholders across the public and private sectors. \nOffshore renewable energy has a huge potential to accelerate this decarbonisation across multiscale solutions\, from supply to the grid\, to micro-grid powered infrastructures\, trough hydrogen or ammonia generation. \nThis presentation will examine the opportunities within Australia\, with an emphasis on the Great Southern Coast and for Albany to become a world leader in offshore marine renewable energy. \nTom Denniss – Wave Swell Energy Ltd has developed a unique technology that converts the energy in ocean waves into electricity. \nThis presentation will describe the technology\, its potential\, the company’s current project at King Island in Bass Strait\, and the various applications of the technology\, including its ability to double as part of a breakwater or seawall\, thereby providing protection against coastal erosion and/or a safe harbour facility. \nThis is a FREE Event but REGISTRATIONS are essential. \n\nAbout Our Speakers \n\nDr Francois Flocard \nPrincipal Engineer\, UNSW Water Research Laboratory \nFrancois is an expert in the field of renewable ocean wave energy; he has managed the installation of a 250 kW pilot device in Victoria and led several large studies related to wave dynamics and wave energy conversion processes over the last 15 years. He has also worked on projects in the fields of coastal hazards\, coastal structures\, climate change adaptation\, physical and numerical modelling\, and coastal monitoring. Francois is actively involved in collaborative research work (author of over 20 peer-reviewed publications) related to the assessment of climate change effects in the coastal zone as well as innovative coastal protection solutions and wave energy. \n  \nProfessor Christophe Gaudin \nProfessor of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Western Australia \nChristophe has 20 years of experience with the offshore oil and gas industry. Over the last 5 years\, Christophe has redirected his research effort towards offshore renewables\, pursuing scientific interests and becoming acutely aware of the imperative for renewable energy and its potential for the Australian economy. He is currently leading several multidisciplinary projects with wave\, tidal and offshore wind industry partners\, domestically and internationally. He is the founding and current Director of the Wave Energy Research Centre and the Head of the ocean engineering group at the University of Western Australia. \n  \nDr Tom Denniss \nExecutive Chair\, Wave Swell Energy Ltd \nTom has a PhD in Mathematics and Oceanography. Tom invented the technology of WSE. He has served as the Australian government’s representative on the International Energy Agency’s Ocean Energy Systems Executive Committee\, as well as on the Global Roundtable on Climate Change\, an initiative of the Special Adviser to the Secretary General of the United Nations. Tom was the first person to be inducted into the International Ocean Energy Hall of Fame in 2007 and has served on the Australian Government’s Advisory Board for the Clean Energy Innovation Centre and the CSIRO Advisory Committee for the Australian Wave Energy Atlas Project. As Chair of WSE\, Tom’s board responsibilities include technology and strategy. \n

SUMMARY:Brisbane Webinar. Planning for automation of container terminals. 28 July 2021
DESCRIPTION:Event organised by PIANC ANZ Northern Chapter – FREE to PIANC Members. All welcome.  \nA recording of this webinar is now available online\nThis is a hybrid event with participants welcome to attend in person in Brisbane\, and all welcome to view as webinar.  Registrations are essential. Webinar link will be sent out prior to the meeting. \nAbout the event: \nPort stakeholders are engaged in an ongoing search for ways to boost productivity and operational efficiency\, meanwhile environmental pressures increase\, and container traffic keeps growing. \nAs a result\, technological innovations have led to the use of automated container handling equipment and systems\, at an increasing number of container terminals. These automated operational and handling systems require a higher capital cost than conventional terminals\, but may bring benefits like improved productivity\, lower labour and operating costs\, and a greater degree of safety and reliability. \nPlanning for automation is becoming a natural process in the transition towards more sustainable and resilient supply chains. \nPIANC recently issued Working Group Report No.208 – Planning for Automation of Container Terminals.  \nThis seminar will be presented by several authors of the report who will analyse state-of-the-art and best practices when planning for automation in container terminals. \nThe aim is to provide an outline of PIANC Report 208 with advice and guidance for port stakeholders in the planning process and the specific considerations with regards to automation. It will create an opportunity for different stakeholders to discuss and exchange the ideas surrounding the automation of container terminals in Australia. \nSpeakers: \nTom Ward – Director US Maritime Planning\, WSP \nCarsten Varming – Port Development Manager\, NSW Ports \nTom Crawford-Condie – Principal Maritime Engineer\, WSP \nMichael Houen – Director\, Smart Port Strategy\, Hatch \n  \nTime Zone is AEST 5pm. This event is FREE to all PIANC members. Members will receive a promo code with 100% discount.  The event is not limited however to members\, as all are welcome. \nRegistrations are essential. Go to Eventbrite here. \nPromo code for members is PIANC_NChapter

The underwater trail begins in shallow water while its westernmost extent reaches a maximum depth of 7 metres. Most of the trail is around 2.5 to 5 metres deep\, making it suitable for snorkelers and novice divers. \nLocated only 25 metres from the shore\, the dive and snorkel trail encompasses WA’s premier shore-based shipwreck\, the Omeo and nearly 70 purpose built reef habitats\, ranging in height from 1m to 5m tall. The unique sections create a complex reef that includes lots of cave-like spaces to support fish\, crays and molluscs and are great for snorkelling! \nClick on these links for more information about Subcon and the dive trail \nThis event is FREE for PIANC members and employees of PIANC member organisations but registrations are ESSENTIAL via Eventbrite \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/coogee-maritime-trail-breakfast-tickets-146312634027 \nFurther enquiries regarding the event to adam.vanderbeeke@fremantleports.com.au \nTo become a PIANC member visit pianc.org.au \nDownload the event flyer here.  \nSpecial thanks to event sponsors City of Cockburn and Subcon. \n

SUMMARY:The Future of Physical Modelling  an EA/PIANC Online Seminar 10 Dec 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Role Of Physical Modelling In Today’s World – Dr Steven Hughes\nCoastal and port engineers rely on four complimentary tools for the development of robust\, functioning projects: theoretical analyses\, numerical modeling\, physical modeling\, and field measurements. From the early days of coastal and port engineering physical modeling (including laboratory experimentation) has played a major role in advancing understanding and in effective design and construction. \nIt is important for experienced engineers\, as well as younger members of the profession and decision makers to at least understand both the advantages and limitations of physical models. \nThis webinar\, hosted by the National Committee Coastal and Ocean Engineering\, PIANC Australia and New Zealand\, and Engineers Australia\, will examine the role of physical modeling in today’s world with a look toward the future. After a short introduction describing the underlying principles of physical modeling\, typical modern-day model uses will be discussed\, along with specific examples of how physical models contributed to successful projects. We will explore current worldwide trends in physical modeling that illustrate the continued importance of this engineering tool. \nFrom there\, we will step back from physical modeling and share opinions on several challenges faced by coastal and port engineers now and in the future. These topics include: climate change; maintaining the knowledge base; erosion of expertise; and perhaps most importantly\, learning from engineering practitioners. A question and answer session will follow the presentation. \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Steven A. Hughes \nDr. Steven A. Hughes was awarded this year the 2020 John G. Moffatt-Frank E. Nichol Harbor and Coastal Engineering Award for his definitive contribution over 47 years to the field of harbor and coastal engineering across research\, investigations\, design and construction. \nDr. Hughes has been the consummate public servant as a research engineer\, applications engineer and educator. He is considered a top tier coastal engineer and scientist throughout the international engineering community. His book “Physical Models and Laboratory Techniques in Coastal Engineering” published in 1993 remains a definitive reference for practicing coastal and port professionals. \nDr. Hughes has attained numerous accolades throughout his esteemed career with the US Army Corps of Engineers. In 2017 Steve was inducted into the Waterways Experiment Station Gallery of Distinguished Employees\, one of the highest honours bestowed on only a few of the USACE research community.

SUMMARY:PIANC APAC 2020 - Pre-Conference Symposium: Nature-based Solutions 1 Dec 2020
DESCRIPTION:Pre-APAC 2020 Conference Symposium:\nNature-based Solutions for Coasts\, Ports\, and Estuaries\nDate: 1 December 2020\nTime: 0830 – 1730 AWST\nVenue: Esplanade Hotel Fremantle (WA participants)\,\nLive Streamed (non-WA participants)\nProtecting populations and infrastructure within our coasts\, ports and estuaries is a major challenge in this era of rapid environmental change. To address this challenge\, in recent years there has been growing focus on adopting nature-based solutions in flooding and erosion risk management projects. \nThese solutions use natural processes and ecosystems\, to provide an alternative\,’ green infrastructure’\, form of protection. Such ecosystems include reefs\, wetlands\, submerged aquatic vegetation\, mangroves\, as well as hybrid approaches that integrate both traditional and nature-based approaches. \nThis exciting Symposium will bring together a range of multi-disciplinary groups\, including engineering\, planning\, restoration ecology\, resource economics\, and policy experts\, to discuss recent international developments in successful nature-based solutions for coastal\, port and estuary applications. \nThe Symposium will highlight the latest innovations worldwide\, lessons learnt\, and implementation challenges from users across a spectrum of backgrounds – from researchers to practitioners to end users. It will provide essential knowledge and leadership for the future. \nThe Program for the one-day Symposium will include 4 Keynote presentations from prominent international speakers (delivered via live streaming) and 10 additional invited speakers. The program will provide participants with opportunities to network and ample time for discussion. \nThe final Program will be released in October. \nNote that as the Symposium is part of PIANC’s APAC 2020 Conference\, registration is through the APAC2020 registration site.  Symposium attendees are encouraged\, if they can\, to register for the Symposium and the full conference. \nFor information about speakers please see https://www.pianc2020.com/pre-conference-symposium/
