Dam Safety can be used to routinely inspect dams, manage work assignments, and monitor inspection programs.
Dams are integral to communities and critical to managing watersheds. They can be privately or publicly owned but the responsibility to inspect them falls on the government authority they fall within. Routine dam inspections minimize the risk of failure and impact to downstream structures, ecosystems, and most importantly, inhabitants. Dam safety authorities share operating manuals with dam owners and use them to encourage common maintenance responsibilities. But dams need to be inspected continuously to ensure they are well maintained. While many dam safety authorities maintain a centralized database of historical dam information, they struggle to accurately access the current condition of these dams. Streamlining inspection programs ensures dams are routinely inspected and safety issues identified before an incident occurs.
The Dam Safety solution delivers a set of capabilities that help state and local governments conduct routine dam inspections and understand asset condition.
