Dam Design, Inspection, and Safety
Many states have adopted dam safety regulations requiring dam owners to meet specific safety standards and maintain emergency response preparedness to respond to potentially catastrophic events. Skelly and Loy provides engineering and design services to dam owners to meet these requirements. Typical services include annual dam safety inspections; preparation of Emergency Action Plans; spillway capacity hydraulic analysis; design, permitting, and supervision of maintenance efforts; and development of removal and demolition plans for decommissioned, low-head structures.
