Dam performance monitoring plays a major role in ensuring public safety, validating structure design and understanding its behavior over its entire life in service. Instrumentation systems for dams are designed according to the type of dam that needs to be monitored: concrete gravity, earthfill, rockfill, arch or rock-compacted concrete dams.

Our dam monitoring systems offer smart acquisition: acquisition rates can be changed according to events, since they are able to trigger other systems such as pump stations or seismographs, and manage the power available to instruments and external devices.
Our Geotechnical & Structural Monitoring Systems for Dam include telecommunications options such as cellular or satellite modems to extract data in real-time from the instruments and pushing them directly into GKM Consultant’s online platform or into the dam operator’s own database system.
