Dam Safety and Infrastructure Management Services

STREAM employs advanced techniques such as Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and multi-temporal 3D modeling for precise monitoring and condition assessments of dam structures. These technologies enable the early detection of fissures, structural deformations, and other potential risks, ensuring proactive maintenance and risk mitigation. By integrating GNSS, INS, and UWB systems, we achieve centimeter-level accuracy in drone-based inspections, providing detailed insights into the health and stability of dam infrastructure.

 

Our expertise extends to hydrological and hydraulic modeling using tools like HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS, which allow us to assess spillway capacity, simulate extreme flood scenarios, and evaluate the operational performance of reservoirs. STREAM also specializes in dam break analysis and flood risk modeling, ensuring robust emergency response planning and the development of early warning systems to protect downstream communities.

 

In addition to technological advancements, STREAM emphasizes the integration of climate resilience into dam safety management. Our work includes assessing the impacts of climate change on flood frequencies, reservoir operations, and sedimentation rates. This enables us to design adaptive management strategies that enhance the longevity and sustainability of dam infrastructure under changing environmental conditions.

 

STREAM’s track record includes the safety assessment of major dams, such as those in Kosovo and the Drin River Basin, where we conducted detailed hydrological modeling, dam break simulations, and early warning system design. By combining engineering excellence with cutting-edge technology, STREAM ensures the safe operation of dams while safeguarding the surrounding environment and communities.

 

With a commitment to innovation and sustainability, STREAM delivers comprehensive dam safety and infrastructure management solutions that meet international standards, including ICOLD regulations. This approach ensures the resilience and reliability of critical water infrastructure, supporting sustainable development and disaster risk reduction in a rapidly changing world.
