Sunwater ALARP framework and application

  • Demonstrating due diligence in dam safety
  • Sunwater ALARP framework and application

Dam owners across Australia are faced with the ongoing challenge of reducing the risk associated with their dams to be as low as (or so far as) reasonably practicable (ALARP/SFAIRP).  HARC has been working with Sunwater to develop a systematic, transparent and robust method for working that out.  Leveraging our experience with other dam owners HARC, with Mark Foster, have developed a process that incorporates the Regulator and Sunwater’s requirements and applied the process to the highest priority dams (other dams are currently being assessed). This has provided Sunwater with a clear understanding of the next steps in ensuring that their dams are ALARP by 2035.
