The owner of dam X0005354 mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to undertake a Statutory Inspection of the dam, composed of a visual analysis of all the components, including but not limited to, the piers, the spillway, the toe of the dam, the access systems, the headpond and the discharge canal.  

Following this inspection, ECS prepared a Statutory Inspection Report which included, among other aspects, a description of how the inspection was carried out, ECS' observations (with annotated photos), recommendations with respect to the dam's current condition and status, and finally a preliminary estimate of the construction costs associated with the recommendations.

This inspection is required by the Loi sur la sécurité des barrages and in line with the Réglement sur la sécurité des barrages.

During the inspection, particular attention was given to elements such as Public Safety Around Dams, environmental protection measures and the structural defects in the reinforced concrete structure.
