- Enabling trainees to prepare for the nuances of the work environment prior to commencement of actual, on-site work
- Reducing training time and cost by accommodating training programmes to a larger number of trainees at any one point in time
9:50 am - 10:30 am
Melbourne Water Case Study: Sewer Walk Simulator – A Fully Immersive Training System
Scott McMillan -
Safety Manager, Technology and Innovation,
Melbourne Water
Asset engineers that are in charge of designing sewer and underground assets are never given the opportunity to actually see what it’s like to work underground. Traditional training methods do not give people the understanding of the hazards of working in the sewer network. As such, Melbourne Water has developed a Sewer Walk Simulator, in which users can be lowered into a virtual sewer to walk, see, hear, feel, and even smell what it’s like to be in their sewer network.
- Understanding how the simulator is used to help users in identifying potential hazards of the environment
- Utilising a randomised system and different emergency scenarios for training different users
- Overcoming risks in adoption as well as challenges and barriers in building the simulator
10:30 am - 10:50 am
Group Networking Session
10:50 am - 11:20 am
Morning Refreshments & Networking Break
Structured to maximise interaction and in-depth focus on a topical subject matter, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in two roundtable sessions of their choice, which has close relevance to their area of expertise and/or scope of responsibility. There will be 2 rotations at 50-minutes each.
