The DMC Team have extensive dam engineering experience throughout British Columbia and Yukon. Our staff have served as Engineer of Record on dozens of dams. We provide the following dam engineering services:
At DMC, we are dam good! Our team have decades of experience in dam engineering with a geographic focus on British Colubia and Yukon. Our services are outlined below:
Dam Safety Reviews and Inspections evaluate the condition, performance, and safety of dam infrastructure. DMC provides focused assessments and clear recommendations to identify risks, address deficiencies, and support the safe, reliable operation of dam facilities.
Dam Breach, Inundation, and Consequence Classification Reviews assess potential dam failure scenarios and the resulting downstream impacts. DMC develops breach and inundation analyses to support accurate consequence classification, risk awareness, and informed decision-making for dam owners and regulators.
Dam Engineering Assessments evaluate the structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, and operational performance of dam infrastructure. DMC provides practical, risk-informed assessments to identify deficiencies, prioritize upgrades, and support the safe, reliable operation of dam facilities.
Rehabilitation of Existing Dams focuses on evaluating aging or deficient infrastructure and developing effective upgrade solutions. DMC designs and supports rehabilitation measures to improve safety, performance, and regulatory compliance while extending the service life of dam facilities.
Dam Decommissioning involves the safe planning and removal or permanent closure of dam structures that are no longer required or pose ongoing risk. DMC provides technical assessments, design support, and regulatory coordination to ensure decommissioning is completed safely, responsibly, and in accordance with applicable standards.
Intrusive Investigations and Site Characterization involve targeted field programs to define subsurface conditions and dam foundation materials. DMC plans and executes geotechnical investigations to reduce uncertainty, support dam assessments and designs, and inform safe, constructible engineering solutions.
Tailings Dams, including Tailings Characterization and Deposition Planning, address the unique geotechnical and operational challenges of mine waste storage facilities. DMC provides tailings characterization, deposition planning, and dam engineering support to manage risk, enhance stability, and support safe, compliant operations.
