Management and Monitoring of Dams and Levees

Dam and levee concessionaires and managers are responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of hydraulic structures, including dams, levee systems, reservoirs, power plants, dikes, and penstocks.

OBJECTIVES:

Internationally and in France, owners of these structures must comply with safety standards and are required to regularly inspect the structures, submit annual reports, perform preventive maintenance, and monitor water levels.

The challenge in managing and analyzing these structures is to have a robust and relevant regulatory documentation to ensure their reliability. Nowadays, it is essential to ensure efficient and high-quality data collection and analysis with advanced domain knowledge for effective decision-making. Coordinating the various stakeholders involved in this process is a challenge that digital monitoring tools can address.
