Episode 017 - Rob Ayre
Manage episode 365785776 series 3483457
Our guest is Civil Engineer, and now retired former Technical Director at Aurecon - Rob Ayre.
Rob has worked in flood hydrology for the entirety of his career (almost 40yrs) and has worked in public and private Sectors. He has been responsible for directing the flood operations (during his tenure with Sunwater) of Ross River Dam, Scrivener Dam, North Pine Dam, Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam all of which are gated dams. Throughout his career, Rob has been involved in the operation of over 60 flood events.
Now, one of the big topics, that we discussed with Rob today is the January 2011 flood event (where Rob was part of the team that controlled the operation of dam releases), and the subsequent flood inquiry.
As you can imagine, there was lots to unpack and talk about.
We hope you enjoy Episode 017 as much as we did.
