DAMS & LEVEES

Go with the flow

Dams and levees are critical components of our national infrastructure. They create water‑supply reservoirs, support stormwater and flood‑control efforts, generate hydroelectric power, and form recreational lakes. Many of these structures, built during the first half of the 20th century, are now aging and require careful evaluation and strategic rehabilitation.

AMI brings extensive experience in assessing and improving existing earthen, rock‑fill, and gravity dams, as well as wing walls, aprons, and scour‑protection structures. We take a thorough, measured approach by reviewing all available project documentation, comparing record drawings, and evaluating historical design standards to understand the structure’s history and performance.

Our capabilities include comprehensive underwater and topside assessments, imaging, geotechnical and hydraulic investigations, and material testing. We provide clear, actionable recommendations and design solutions to address structural degradation or to bring facilities into compliance with current FERC and other regulatory safety standards.

With practical expertise and a commitment to timely, professional service, AMI delivers the support needed to complete your dam or levee project efficiently and responsibly.
