KBR’s senior manager Domenic Svejkar spoke at the Sydney Summit, an annual leadership conference convened by the Committee for Sydney. The presentation focused on resurfacing and re-naturalising urban waterways to improve urban liveability amid extreme heat and flooding. Svejkar discussed bringing hidden streams and stormwater channels back to the surface in suitable locations and using natural systems such as wetlands to improve water quality and biodiversity. He also cited practical constraints such as flat topography and competing land uses, and referenced research into smart gates using real-time water-level sensor data to manage flows.
