Ensuring Safe and Reliable Dam Structures

We have been involved in all stages of dam design and construction, ranging from water storage reservoir impoundments for fresh water supply to salmon hatcheries and fish processing facilities, to tailings storage embankments for gold ore processing facilities. We use a combination of sound engineering principles, geologic and hydrologic data, computer modeling, and construction experience to design dams which are well suited for their purpose and location; while considering less tangible factors such as constructability and material/equipment availability.

We have also been approved by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Mining, Land & Water Dam Safety and Construction Unit as a qualified dam inspection firm and routinely perform periodic dam safety inspections across Alaska.

We have designed a number of dams and dam repairs/upgrades across the state including earthen dams, reinforced concrete dams, and spillway upgrades. We have an excellent working relationship with the Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Mining, Land & Water Dam safety and Construction Unit (Dam Safety) and we are familiar with the permitting requirements involved with dam projects. Our dam design projects have included dams within Anchorage city limits as well as remote locations.
