SUMMARY:COPEP & PIANC NSW:  Engineering with nature: creating resilient coastal systems 31 Aug 2026
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\nCOPEP & PIANC NSW CHAPTER EVENT\nEngineering with nature: creating resilient coastal systems\n\n\n\n\nJoin internationally recognised engineer and researcher Dr Todd Bridges for an insightful presentation on how nature-based solutions are reshaping coastal and flood resilience. As climate pressures intensify and infrastructure systems face growing uncertainty\, engineers must deliver solutions that are technically robust\, environmentally sustainable\, and socially beneficial.\n\nThis session will explore how Engineering With Nature® principles can be applied to coastal and flood risk management to improve resilience\, enhance ecosystem outcomes\, and support long-term infrastructure performance.\n\nAs coastal development expands\, questions arise about whether traditional 20th-century engineering approaches remain appropriate. Land reclamation and ‘hard’ engineering have enabled communities\, industry\, and governments to exert control over land and water\, but often at the cost of systems now misaligned with changing conditions.\n\nBuilding resilience at scale will require unprecedented cross-sector collaboration over coming decades—rethinking land use\, designing multi-functional infrastructure\, and integrating natural and human systems to create more adaptive\, sustainable coastal landscapes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📅 Date: Monday 31 August\n⏰ Time: 5pm to 8pm\n📍 Location: Engineers Australia\, 44 Market Street \, Sydney\n🪙 Price: EA & PIANC Members: $15\, non-members: $35\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to this upcoming event.\n\nFull events details and booking information below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT DETAILS & TICKETS

SUMMARY:PIANC WA: Dredging & Beneficial Use of Sediments - 8 September
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore the opportunities\, challenges and emerging case studies demonstrating how beneficial use of sediments can deliver environmental\, social and economic benefits while supporting a more circular approach to dredging. \nEvent timing: 5:30pm – doors open for a pre-drink \n6 – 7pm – presentations followed by a panel discussion \n7-9:30pm – networking \nVenue: The Shoe Bar\, Yagan Square\, Perth \nDredging is essential for creating and maintaining our ports\, harbours and waterways. As industries increasingly focus on sustainability\, there is growing recognition that dredged sediment should be viewed as a valuable resource rather than a waste product. Yet despite increasing demand for scarce resources a significant proportion of dredged material continues to be disposed of rather than beneficially reused. \nBook here for this FREE event for PIANC Members  and only $10 for non-members – https://www.trybooking.com/au/event/1635030 \nChair: \n\nCharlie Bicknell (Regional Maritime Executive\, WSP) & Shirley Dawe (Regional Manager WA\, Hydrobiology)\n\nIntroduction \n\nShirley Dawe (Regional Manager WA\, Hydrobiology) – an introduction to our current working groups including WG176 Guide for Applying Working with Nature to Navigation Infrastructure Projects\n\n Speakers: \n\nAlwin van den Bosch (General Manager\, Boskalis Australia) – international examples of sustainable sediment projects\nAdi Fadil (Senior Dredging Engineer\, in2Dredging) – Rock dredging\, from excavation challenges to beneficial reuse\nRichard King (Dredging and Survey Manager\, Pilbara Ports Authority) – Sediment segregation in placement grounds to allow for future reuse\n\nPanel Discussion: \nOur speakers will be joined by Damian Tully and Luke Twomey to discuss barriers to achieving the beneficial use of dredging sediments. \n\nAlwin van den Bosch\,\nRichard King\nDamian Tully (CEO\, Mid West Ports Authority)\nLuke Twomey (CEO\, Western Australian Marine Science Institute)\n\nAttendees will have the opportunity participate in asking questions in this interactive event. \n\nWe would like to thank our event sponsors: Boskalis and WSP. \n
