IDC Technologies Regional Forum: Electrical Engineering in the Top End

Where: Darwin
When: March 11th & 12th 2009

The 2009 IDC Regional Electrical Engineering Forum is committed to bringing you the latest information on electrical engineering with an impressive selection of local and national speakers. The forum will examine and discuss the latest local and international practices and standards in electrical safety, switchgear & power cables, remote and emergency power with a focus on the engineering environment and people of the Northern Territory.

IDC has lined up two national keynote speakers for the event, Mr Roger Royal, who has 40 years experience in the electrical power industry and is one of IDC’s most knowledgeable electrical experts. Roger has travelled all over the world for the last 10 years for IDC to instruct on various electrical topics from his base in the snowy mountains in NSW. IDC also welcomes Mr Andrew Maunder, who has 25 years experience in the electrical industry and is a certified safety auditor and accredited electrical safety auditor for the Queensland Government in Hazardous Areas and High Voltage Installations. Both speakers will be presenting a half day workshop on each morning of the two day forum.

As an Electrical Engineering Professional, do you work with or are you interested in Electrical Safety, Switchgear and Cables and Emergency and Remote Power Supplies? IDC is looking for a number of presenters to submit an abstract and present their papers on the following subjects:

There are three themes in this forum with a focus on good practice relevant to the Northern Territory:

• Electrical Safety – Safe theory & practice, earthing and bonding, standards & regulations, auditing techniques
• Switchgear and Cables – Installation, commissioning, joint & terminations, arc flash hazards
• Emergency and Remote Power Supplies – Batteries, UPS’s, renewable energy, ensuring high reliability

We are particularly looking for case studies and state of the art practical applications of electrical engineering with the focus on regional Northern Territory environment.

Welcome to BETNET 2008 – Engineering the Next Generation of Buildings and Facilities

BETNET 2008 aims to bring together a diverse range of people with a common interest in the area of the built environment. The technical programme will contain a combination of tutorials, papers and keynote speakers, addressing the breadth of the built environment.

Call for papers

The organising committee invites offers of contributions in any of the proposed topic areas. The deadline for papers is 15th April 2008.

Background

For the first time in human existence more than 50 per cent of the world’s population (over 3 billion people) are living in urban environments. This proportion is rising rapidly. Millions more people will move from the countryside to the cities in the next 15 years. Such population movements are totally unprecedented and represent a tremendous challenge to the creativity and skills of engineers, designers and technologists.

The impacts of this mass urbanisation are clear to see, soaring energy consumption, major air pollution and CO2 generation contributing significantly to global warming. Water shortage and pollution, alternative energy sources, transport and infrastructure overload and massive waste management issues. Such issues will only be resolved by developing and delivering world class engineering solutions on a global basis.

Who should attend

This event is aimed at delegates with the following roles:

• Building Services Engineering Consulting Engineers
• M&E Contracting Engineers
• M&E Consulting Engineers
• Electrical Engineers
• Technician Engineers
• Facility Managers
• Facility Engineers
• Structural Engineers
• I.T. and Systems Engineers
• Architects and Property developers

Workshops

In addition to a two day conference programme addressing leading-edge built environment topics; BETNET 2008 – Engineering the Next Generation of Buildings and Facilities will be preceded by a one day series of Workshops which will draw upon the practical experiences of presenters including international experts from within the built environment area, specialist consultancies and academic centres of excellence.
