Bringing a wealth of knowledge and innovation to Atlan\u2019s Engineering team, Oscar Bentham provides engineering guidance, design assistance and sustainability advice for our clients across a wide range of flagship stormwater projects.<\/p>\n
Winner of the Young Professional of the Year (Stormwater NSW) in 2021, Oscar offers our clients vital insights into primary treatment specifications and subsurface stormwater solutions. Advocating for the maintenance of our stormwater network, Oscar\u2019s work helps to improve asset service life and fosters sustainable communities.<\/p>\n
I assist consultants, councils and internal teams at Atlan with product specifications and provide value engineering for stormwater design. Outside of this scope, I build (Atlan\u2019s) sizing tools, prepare conference white papers and assist the maintenance team as an SME.<\/p>\n
I am passionate about practical stormwater solutions \u2013 complete packages that are easy to install, easy to design and importantly, easy to maintain.<\/p>\n
I enjoy the water quality side of things – creating a difference and protecting the environment. Atlan\u2019s Vortceptor is a market leader in primary treatment, which I believe is an area that is vital \u2013 and where many projects fail.<\/p>\n
If primary treatment fails, then tertiary treatment will also fail. If your GPT design is wrong, it doesn\u2019t matter how great you make your bioretention or filtration; having the best primary treatment is critical.<\/p>\n
If you look at a typical construction job, you\u2019ve got engineers, developers, council and your builders. From the engineer\u2019s perspective, they will save time in sizing and drafting water quality and quantity components, and have confidence that the builder, developer and local council endorse the Atlan infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Consultants reaching out to Atlan to value engineer their stormwater designs will produce practical and cost-effective solutions that their clients will appreciate. Everyone benefits from potentially getting more yield from their properties or optimising the treatment to minimise the maintenance costs.<\/p>\n
The key thing with SQIDEP is that it\u2019s trying to bring trust into the industry. For quite a long time, consultants and councils have had to trust different proprietors. It allows them to have trust \u2013 there is an overarching organisation (Stormwater Australia) that is providing an accreditation with a stringent protocol.<\/p>\n
If you look at major cities around the world, they are basically always situated near a key water body \u2013 a lake, river or harbour. Good stormwater management, such as treatment and detention, is important to preserving these environments and their ecology.<\/p>\n
The flow on effects of poor management ripples all the way down to the local community \u2013 and our lifestyle and mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
