SYNOPSIS

This talk is intended to provide aspiring road engineers with an overview of erosion and sediment control processes associated with road and highway projects. Currently, the approval of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) is a mandatory requirement as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for road and highway developments. As such, Ir. Pan will discuss the regulatory requirements for erosion and sediment control, and how to apply erosion and sediment control principles using site-specific information to meet these requirements. Key principles to be highlighted include minimizing soil erosion, preserving topsoil and other natural assets, managing access routes and site activities, controlling and managing runoff, implementing earthworks and erosion control measures, preventing sedimentation, stabilizing slopes, and maintaining the site effectively. To illustrate the practical application of these principles, Ir. Pan will also explain the functions of common Best Management Practices (BMPs) used in road and highway projects, such as silt fences, check dams, earth drains, sediment basins, and others.
