Dams are inherently vulnerable during rehabilitation construction due to risks such as a weakened/reduced cross section of the structure or reduced flood passage capacity. Successful management of the risks salient to dam construction requires proactive identification, planning, and mitigation by all parties. This 2-hour webinar will examine typical risk categorization with a focus on dam safety during construction, the risk identification and...

This course will present potential failure modes for chute spillways and ways to design these spillways to minimize the potential for failure. 1. Understanding failure modes such as cavitation and hydraulic jacking that can affect chute spillways. 2. How to evaluate potential spillway design and construction details that could lead to failure modes. 3. How to evaluate potential spillway failure mode4. Understanding design details that can hel...

Many dams and levees have embankment drains, structure underdrains, and relief wells to control seepage through and beneath the dam and piezometers to monitor the performance of these features. Dam and levee owners, managers, and maintenance staff may be uncertain about the function of these features and what maintenance is required. This webinar will summarize seepage principles and terminology in layman's terms and describe the purposes and...

During recent years the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drone technology for the inspection and monitoring of dams and levees has increased. This rate of integration is, in part, due to FAA regulation revisions and the advantages regarding personnel safety, flexibility, speed and volume of data acquisition, and cost. This webinar presents an overview of drones and how this technology can be incorporated into dam safety inspections an...

Oroville Dam is the tallest dam in the United States. On February 7, 2017, a section of the concrete chute slab of the service spillway failed during spillway discharge, and several days later the emergency spillway was activated for the first time in the half-century history of the dam, resulting in rapid and severe erosion of the hillside below the emergency spillway weir, and prompting precautionary evacuation of nearly 190,000 downstream r...

Physical Security includes five components; detection, assessment, command and control (policy & procedures), response and engagement. Sadly, most of us in the security vertical focus on only one or two of these components and miss the others. These five elements must be intertwined and seamlessly integrated. If they all aren’t addressed, the “bad guy” wins. In this session we’ll outline what each component is, how...
