1pm – 4pm ET

Idéal pour les propriétaires de barrages ou les professionnels peu habitués aux barrages, ce tout nouveau cours de l’ACB propose une introduction aux différents types de barrages, à leur fonctionnement et à la manière de cerner et d’atténuer les risques éventuels. Les participants pourront également mieux comprendre les rôles et responsabilités clés. Plus précisément, les participants découvriront : 

• les composants typiques d’un barrage;
• le fonctionnement des barrages en remblai, en béton et miniers;
• les risques éventuels et les moyens de les atténuer;
• l’importance de la gestion de la sécurité des barrages et comment élaborer un plan.

Il s’agit d’un atelier interactif que les membres de l’ACB peuvent réserver pour l’offrir sur leur lieu de travail et auprès des principaux intervenants.
