Jointly organized by
Date: 16 September 2009 (Wednesday)
Time: 7:00pm – 8:30pm (1.5 CPD)
Venue: Room207-208 of Etech Centre (Causeway Bay, HKCT)
Speaker Details:
Ir Dr. Alex C O Li, a Senior Geotechnical Engineer of the Geotechnical Engineering Office of the Civil Engineering and Development Department
Ir Dr. King Wong, Immediate Past Chairman of HKIE-SSC, Chairman of Qualification and Membership and Mediation Committee of HKIUSProgramme highlight:
Leakage from water-carrying services (water pipes, drains and sewers) may adversely affect the stability of slopes. This seminar will describe the various methods and technology commonly used in water leakage detection for buried services.
The seminar highlights leakage from water-carrying services, (water pipes, drains and sewers), may adversely affect the stability of slopes. Since the fatal Kwun Lung Lau landslide of 23 July 1994, water leakage detection (WLD) for buried water-carrying services affecting slopes has been widely and regularly conducted in routine maintenance programmes.
This seminar will describe the various methods and technology commonly used in WLD for buried services. The critical factors affecting the WLD processes will be examined including elaboration on the accuracy and efficiency of the methods. Finally, the future development of the WLD on buried service will be discussed.
