CPD Record

Details of CPD activity	Dates	Effective learning time	Dev. Plan ref.	Key Learning Points	Key Benefits/Value added	Further comments: Was the learning successful? How can I improve it in future?
Artelia Ethics & Integrity Training 2020	10.12.2020	2	Professional Commitment	Artelia's ethics guidance on three major concerns: Conflict of Interest, Corruption, Fraud and 3rd party relations Artelia is a signatory of UN Global Compact Initiative.	Betterment of self on ethics and understanding of my organization's approach to integrity as an engineering consultant	Successful. I shall learn more about the Project Logbook on MyArt portal. Improvement suggestion: The grammar of some of the questions in the end were overly complicated creating confusion on the subject matter to be learned.
Reading and review of paper by Goda titled "Design wave height selection in intermediate-depth waters" (2012)	27.12.2020	2	Technical Knowledge	Comparison of max. wave height estimations between two methods and their validity in different water depths	I learned when not to use the CWD method (Battjes) in design works (in intermediate-depth waters), to use the breaker index method instead.	Key knowledge on my specialty acquired. The third edition of Goda's book shall be an interesting read.
Reading of IALA Navguide 2018 and IALA Recommendation O-139	06.01.2021	2	Technical Knowledge	Review of aids to navigation recommendations for the marking man-made offshore structures	I refreshed and updated my knowledge on audible and visual aids to navigation	This was useful for discussing with the client on their specific requirements
Reading of "Rock Manual"	Q4.2020	2	Technical Knowledge	Review of porosity of bulk-placed materials porosity calculations (section 3.4.4.3)	I refreshed my knowledge on how the void ratio of bulk materials are calculated. Wide graded material has a high bulk ratio (~1.8t/m3 for 1-1000kg)	Useful to calculate the quantity of rock to be procured in tons and placed in m3.
Reading of "Dredging: A Handbook for Engineers"	10.01.2021	2	Technical Knowledge	Estimating output of Trailer Suction Hopper Dredgers	Bulk factor of the dredged material is important Time lost at unproductive activity determines the filling factor (Figure 9.2) - short duration spent at turning+sailing+diposing means less need to fill up the hopper all the way.	Key methodology to estimate productivity of a TSHD and eventually cost. The book is 25 years old now so newer information might be available out there.
