The City of Saint-Eugène-de-Guigues, owner of dam X0002998, mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to undertake a Statutory Inspection of the dam, including a visual analysis of all components, including, but not limited to: Piers, closure dikes, beam handling systems, retaining and gabion walls, as well as the access systems, the discharge canal, and the upstream impoundment, along with the downstream stretch and the tailrace invert.

Following this inspection, ECS prepared a Statutory Inspection Report including, among other aspects, a description of how the inspection was conducted, ECS's observations (with annotated photos), recommendations as to the current condition of the dam and its 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, and the condition of structural elements.
