Project Description
The owner of dam X0002706 mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to undertake a Statutory Inspection of the dam, included a visual analysis
of all the components, including but not limited to, the piers, the spillways, the toe of the dam, the rail systems and the intake, 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 elements.
