Catastrophic consequences result from dam failures due to earthquakes, making the reliable assessment of dam safety indispensable. Only with actionable information based on instrumental observation of structural behavior can operators make decisions confidently during seismic […]
Read moreArtificial levees are critical components in flood defenses. Structural defects in these levees can seriously compromise their effectiveness. In Hungary, where one-third of the country is protected by a 4,200 km long levee system, GSSI’s […]
Read moreThe use of geophysical logging techniques for dam inspection and monitoring has long been recognised as critical for structural assessment over the life of a dam. Subsurface investigation provides detailed insight into the fabric and […]
Read moreSYSCAL PRO for 3D electrical resistivity tomography Dam managers are often hesitant to order 3D studies because they fear a significant increase in the cost of the intervention. However, a 3D visualization of the conductive […]
Read moreFaster and less costly non-destructive seismic methods can reasonably approximate the composition of a levee, including any zones of weakness. Benefits to using seismic methods include the low cost of a survey and the speed […]
Read moreOn 6 February 2023, South Central Turkey was struck by not one, but two catastrophic and deadly earthquakes (Mw 7.8 and Mw 7.5). These were the worst seismic events in this century. These major quakes […]
Read moreAn accurate non-destructive approach can save time and money As the world struggles to improve its critical infrastructure, attention is being paid to non-destructive testing (NDT) methods that can help to accurately determine what can […]

Read moreIndustrial-scale mine waste storage dams are collapsing more frequently severely affecting communities and ecosystems. To meet the challenges of the energy transition, the ore deposits exploited are less and less rich and mine become increasingly wasteful […]
Read moreSeisImager is designed for the geotechnical industry with features meant to simplify your work. Engineers, geologists, and geophysicists can use this highly versatile software package to process seismic data for a variety of projects, including […]
Read moreData Acquisition and Dissemination for Multi-Dam Systems KMIDam, short for Kinemetrics Management of Infrastructure Platform for Dams has enterprise-class middleware to acquire data and datalogger state of health, and disseminate relevant information to dam operators. […]
Read moreIn the field of dam safety, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods can help accurately determine what can be repaired and what needs to be replaced. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be used for NDT for dam […]
