Rock Design for River Works
Date: 10 May 2024
Location: Wellington,
Time: 10am-3pm
Cost: $500 plus GST. Council rate – $400 plus GST
A workshop for designing rock revetments and groynes for River Works
A half-day workshop providing details of best practice methods for designing rock for use in river works. A high-level introduction to geomorphology will be provided for the purpose of understanding how rock works can affect river processes as well as key concepts affecting general scour design. A summary of tools for quantifying hydrological and hydraulic design parameters will be presented followed by guidance on when rock should be considered as a management tool. The design process will then be explained for rock revetments (rock lines) and groynes including general arrangement geometry, sizing, filters, and specifications. Examples will be provided of recent projects including where design/cost/maintenance trade-offs were considered.
