2026 Dam Construction Inspection- Virtual

When:  Tue, Apr 7, 2026 from 10:00 to 17:00 (ET)
This course will be an interactive seminar that provides a well-blended mixture of lecture presentations covering various design disciplines along with several strategically designed hands-on exercises that provide interaction among participants. The exercises will be developed to include review of documents for a dam rehabilitation project to provide experience to both the novice and experienced dam safety engineer with design review. This course has been developed to provide attendees with a broader background on dam design and specific experience and resources that can be used following the seminar.

Key Take-aways:
• Dam design, state of the practice.
• Standards and guidelines review.
• Design documents.
• Civil 3-D design to 2-D plan development.
• Incorporating Potential Failure Modes Analysis (PFMA) in the design process.
• Plans/Drawing review.
• Specification development and review.
• Design details and construction specifications to achieve constructability and meet quality control requirements of the design.
