Surveys and Monitoring of Dam Structures

The condition of dam structures can be studied and monitored with the help of geophysical measurements.

Key benefits

Comprehensive study on dam structures

The customer receives information on the condition of the dam and possible repair needs.

Safeguarding environmentally friendly operations

GTK’s service safeguards low-emission energy production in power plants and ensures that the environment is kept clean at mining sites (monitoring).

GTK’s research method is easy to implement

GTK’s service provides a quick way to determine the condition of dam structures.

This service is the perfect solution for monitoring the condition of dams and mapping problem areas such as possible erosion and leakage points.

The surveys and monitoring efforts include the necessary geophysical measurements, processing of the data, interpretation of the results, and reporting. The geophysical methods are selected according to each site. One of the most commonly used methods is electrical tomography, which can be used to analyse the internal structure of the dam and possible internal seepage points. Other geophysical methods can also be utilised, if necessary.

GTK can implement the entire service package from measurements to the interpretation of the results and reporting.

The surveys can be used to determine the risk factors associated with a dam or dam basin, as well as possible seepage locations and their extent.
