Earth Control Measures (ECM / ECMO) training in Singapore

Hands-on training on Earth Control Measures (ECM) for site teams, ECM officers (ECMO) and the engineers who design and check ECM.

The Singapore context

Construction sites in Singapore must prevent silty water and earth from being discharged into public drains. PUB, Singapore's national water agency, sets the requirements for Earth Control Measures, and qualifying sites need trained personnel to plan, maintain and monitor them.

What you will practise

• Reading an ECM plan: catchments, silt fences, sedimentation basins and treatment systems
• Daily and post-rain inspection routines, and what good records look like
• Turbidity monitoring and responding to exceedances
• Maintaining ECM as the site changes through excavation, piling and superstructure stages
• Typical failures seen on real sites and practical fixes

Who it is for

ECM officers and environmental control personnel, site engineers, RTOs, contractors' project teams and engineers preparing ECM designs.
