The Brazilian Committee on Dams (CBDB) is pleased to announce the realization of the XXVIII National Seminar on largeDams (SNGB). which will be held from October 25 to 28, 2011, at the Windsor Hotel Convention Center in Rio de Janeiro -Brazil. Simultaneously, we would like to invite your organization to participate as sponsor of the event, or exhibitor in thetechnical exhibition of the Seminar.

This seminar is particularly important for Brazilian dam professionals because it marks the fiftieth anniversary of CBDBwhen, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Flavio lyra, Technical Director of Furnas at the time, the Brazilian Committee on Dams wascreated, and joined the International Commission on large Dams - ICOlD.

The CBDB 50th year celebration will emphasize the recognition to all dam engineers and professionals acting in the Country,either independent consultants or employees of partner companies that, over the years, put their trust in our organization,focused on the dissemination of Brazilian dam engineering.

We are also pleased to inform that along with the Seminar, and in the same period of the SNGB, we will host the IIInternational Symposium on Rockfill Dams. This symposium will be organized in association with the Chinese Committee onlarge Dams and will be attended by a large number of international engineers. It constitutes the continuation of a previousevent held in China, in 2009. The registration on the SNGB is extended to the International Symposium.

In parallel to these events, there will be a technical exhibition for the display of products and services related to the design,construction and operation of dams The exhibition will have the participation of public and private investors andentrepreneurs, as well as designers, constructors, equipment manufacturers of dams and associated facilities, and alsoresearch centers, universities, consultants and service suppliers.

We estimate an audience of more than 800 participants active in dam engineering, hydropower and water resources fromBrazil and abroad.

We believe that the XXVIII SNGB and the International Symposium provide a great opportunity for the exchange oftechnologies, the presentation of companies, products suppliers and new business prospecting.

For us from the CBDB it will be a pleasure to have your business presented at the XXVIII SNGB and this participation can bethrough sponsorship or leasing of booths as shown attached.

TOPICSTOPIC 103 - Rehabilitation, improvement and upgrading of existing dams

• Adaptation of the spillway discharge capacity to the new hydrological conditions.• Deterioration of materials and foundations: specific cases and proposed solutions.• Increasing the elevation of the crest of the dam for safety reasons or to increase the volume of impoundment.• Sedimentation of reservoirs affecting the operation conditions: solutions and case studies.

TOPIC 104 - Safety and control of risks in the construction and operation of dams• Ouestions and institutional and legal aspects.• Analysis of cases of accidents and incidents.• Preventive monitoring and inspection and risk control.• Bottom outlets for emergency reservoir drawdown, are they needed?

TOPIC 105 - Contractual arrangements for hiring engineering services and construction services for dams and hydraulic works-critical analysis seeking quality and safety

• EPC contracts versus independent contracts for each service.• Operational differences resulting from selection and hiring of services by public and private entities.• The impact of the extent and quality of field investigations (topographical, geological, and hydrological) in the distribution and

allocation of contractual risks to the agents involved.• The role of Designer, Builder, Owner Engineer and Financing Agents.

TOPIC 106 - Technical solutions compatible with the protection and improvement of the environment• Formulated during planning and design phases of the project.• Implemented during the construction works.• Implemented during the operation of facilities and use of reservoirs.• Aiming at the restoration of the affected environment and compensation measures.• Institutional restrictions and constraints including requirements for licensing construction and operation of projects: are these

restrictions reasonable in relation to the balance of gains and losses for the country?• Climate change considerations: severe floods and droughts.• Greenhouse Gases.
