Dam Safety Inspections

FCE works with public and private clients to provide dam safety related services, including navigating complex regulation requirements. We can successfully complete the work required to get dams certified by the state Division of Dam Safety, as well as assist in the annual inspections and certification renewals, which must be done on a specific cycle depending on the dam’s hazard classification.

FCE’s civil engineers can provide dam owners with inspections to ensure their functionality and integrity, and can provide high hazard dam owners with the required Dam Safety regulation annual report regarding the condition of the dam and have it certified by one of our staff professional civil engineers.

Other services our team can provide include:

PA DEP file research
Field inspection of dams
Identification and analysis of problems
Report preparation
Design of repair plans
Construction monitoring and resident inspections
Dam breach analysis
Emergency action plan preparation
