Statutory inspection of dam X0005453

Description de projet

The owner of dam X0005354 mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to undertake a Statutory Inspection of the dam, including 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 downstream reach and the upstream impoundment along with the downstream stretch.  

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 on annotated photographs, our recommendations with respect to the dam's current condition and status, and finally a preliminary estimate of the construction costs associated with our recommendations.

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