Analysis and Design
Analysis Services
Dam safety compliance requires a wide range of analyses to evaluate the performance of the structure. Dams typically require hydrologic and hydraulic, geotechnical, geological, and structural analyses to be performed as part of the evaluation of the structure. The results of these analyses are compared to industry requirements to verify that the structure is in compliance. AK Hydro not only has the expertise to conduct the necessary analyses, but also has a profound understanding of the requirements established by the regulatory agencies.
