As GPT asset owners, particularly Councils, grapple with limited budgets and growing environmental responsibilities, maintaining these devices often becomes a significant challenge. This presentation delves into the core issue of how water disposal drives up maintenance costs and limits the frequency of GPT cleaning. With the potential of pollution entering our waterways due to budget constraints, the question arises: “Can dewatering GPTs onsite be a viable solution?”

Join Optimal Stormwater’s Dan Rhodes as he explores the complexities of onsite dewatering, discussing the benefits, risks, and the EPA’s stance on the matter. This presentation will provide practical insights and strategies for asset owners to increase cleaning frequency and improve environmental outcomes, all while minimising costs.

Key topics include:
– The impact of water disposal costs on GPT maintenance
– Onsite dewatering as a cost-saving measure, with mitigation strategies
– Case studies of successful (and not-so-successful) dewatering efforts
– Alternatives like regional decanting facilities to further mitigate risks.

Attend this session to learn how to optimise GPT maintenance, achieve better environmental outcomes, and make budget-friendly decisions without compromising compliance.

The 60-minute session will include a short presentation by Dan Rhodes, followed by Q&A with attendees. A certificate of CPD can be provided to attendees upon request.
