Well presented webinar. Very thorough discussion of all aspects of silt management and good practice. I was knowledgeable but learnt much more about the latest good practices and what to consider in management – mainly drainage and run-off! Now time to up my game introduced new techniques and practices.

What I enjoyed about the training was the practical techniques for sediment control with examples and case studies, the slides demonstrating how effective the correct intervention can be, and the costings which showed prevention is better than cure.

The training is necessary in an industry where it’s often overlooked. You get told too many times that “water is water!” If more of these sessions are run, there will slowly be a mindset shift in the right direction. By demonstrating the importance of surface water management on construction sites empowers us ECoW.
