The Evolving Dam Engineering Toolbox: Emerging Technologies from Design Through Construction
Join us on Tuesday, September 14, 2027, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern for The Evolving Dam Engineering Toolbox: Emerging Technologies from Design Through Construction. This webinar is intended for dam owners and operators, dam safety regulators, engineers, consultants, contractors, construction managers, and inspectors, and other professionals involved in the analysis, design, construction, rehabilitation, inspection, and management of dams and hydraulic structures. The webinar will be relevant to both experienced practitioners interested in emerging technologies and those seeking practical ways to incorporate new tools and approaches into their day-to-day work and dam safety programs.
Key Takeaways:
- Identify emerging technologies and tools being applied to the analysis, design, construction, testing, and inspection of dams and hydraulic structures.
- Describe how digital tools and data-driven approaches, including digital twins and advanced modeling and visualization techniques, can support engineering evaluation, design, and construction.
- Describe how AI and Machine Learning techniques can be used in anomaly detection and dam safety evaluation.
- Recognize new and evolving construction technologies, such as intelligent compaction and automated data collection, and understand how they can improve construction quality, efficiency, consistency, documentation, and decision-making.
- Evaluate emerging field testing and monitoring tools for assessing construction materials, placement conditions, concrete curing, and other construction quality parameters, including opportunities for more rapid or real-time feedback.
- Discuss the practical benefits and limitations of adopting emerging technologies, including considerations related to accuracy, validation, cost, training, data management, regulatory requirements, and integration with established engineering practices.
- Recognize opportunities to incorporate new technologies into day-to-day activities and broader dam safety and engineering programs while maintaining appropriate engineering judgment, quality control, and verification.
