Rémy Tourment, IRSTEA

Rémy has been working since January 1989 in Cemagref (now Irstea) which is a public applied research institute. His team is specialized in safety of hydraulic structures and has been involved in levees since the winter 1993-94 when Camargue suffered its first recent/modern major floods and inundations involving levee failures, and France rediscovered the problems of levees after more than one century of peace.

From 1989 – 2000, he worked as an engineer in charge of computerization of the soil mechanics laboratory (test data acquisition and treatment); computer programs related to dams spillways; finite elements analysis calculations applied to dams; monitoring analysis of dams; and safety evaluation of many dams. From 2000- 2009 Rémy started to work more on flood protection levees, including work on Irstea's levee management Information System, SIRS Digues, and on levee assessment methods. He was also responsible of the design and management of the National database on Dams and Levees (excluding Hydropower dams), BarDigues, on behalf of the French Ministry of Environment. From 2009 to 2013, Rémy acted as project manager or major contributor for various research projects related to levee safety and levee performance assessments including French project DIGSURE; EU project FloodProBE; levee risk analysis; and the International Levee Handbook.

Since May 2013, he has been coordinator for research and expertise on levees in Irstea. This includes participating in the definition of all levee related projects and expertise tasks (and possibly in their execution or management), being the representative of Irstea in all levee related bodies, including the new Association of Levee Managers (France Digues) and Ministry of Ecology, keep watch on all levee related research, and try to build collaborations with relevant institutions.

Rémy’s involvement in the International Levee Handbook including participation to the scoping phase; coordinator of Irstea contributions in the writing phase; TET member; lead for Chapter 5; and contributor to Chapters 2 and 3.

Rémy is also associated to various research activities, including research projects, supervision of trainees and PhD students. He is a member of French Committee on Large Dams, a member of French Committee on Soil Mechanics and member of TC201 (levees) of ISSMGE, and a member of SHF (French branch of IAHR) and is involved in their levee related activities. He is also an advisor for the French Standing Committee for Dams and Hydraulic Works.
