Even the smallest dams can cause significant damage and threaten downstream communities if they fail. Reliable data and warning systems help you avoid the worst-case scenarios.
Remote sensing and custom alerts notify staff using real-time data to determine the best actions.
Our instrumentation track inflow, outflow and flow where it doesn’t belong.
We’ve been safeguarding dams and levees across the US since 1992.
dam safety monitoring
Thousands of aging dams and levees across the world need costly maintenance – presenting major risks to lives and property downstream. Monitoring these high-hazard dams and levees will make sure you’re warned of potential issues before it’s too late.
data collection
Your highly skilled team members could be doing so much more than manually collecting data. We save you time and money by automating data collection 24/7. And with custom metrics, you have the clarity you need to make tough decisions.
downstream alerting
If you know what’s coming, you can prepare your response – saving lives and cutting disruption. Our data gives you time to raise the alarm with downstream communities – providing valuable peace of mind and protecting livelihoods.
Real-time instrumentation monitoring, remote sensing, and centralized enterprise data collection for flood early warning of high-risk, high-hazard dams.
Our Remote Erosion Monitoring System (REMS) spots erosion before the water recedes – providing valuable time to address the problem or alert local residents.
Monitor, visualize, and alert on seismic hazard activity near critical infrastructure points of interest.
Automated management tools that deliver real-time guidance for operating a reservoir through a rainfall or inflow event.
The dam supplies water to the Houston area, making high quality data collection crucial.
See how the Bureau of Indian Affairs collaborates with Tribal Nations to monitor conditions at more than 140 dams across the country.
Webinar
This presentation and educational discussion by experts from our Dam Safety Early Warning Systems program discuss types of remote monitoring and sensing, cameras to verify conditions, as well as emerging technologies.
The discussion is full of practical takeaways and things you can do right away to reduce your risk.
Contrail definitely makes our jobs here at the dam easier. Calculating our desired discharge, for example, used to take 30 minutes. Now it’s right there for us when we need it.
