Dams
Dams and reservoir are built essential for
harnessing the surface water resources, so that water could be
conserved for various utilizations like irrigation, hydropower,
water supply etc. The storage of flood waters also results in flood
moderation thus reducing the flood fury. HS and Associates has a
wide range of experience in dams and reservoir engineering
particularly monsoon originated floods accentuation with perennial
flows.
A number of important steps in regard to
procedures and rules for dam safety assurance have been devised. HS
& Associates and its constituent organization Central Water
Commission along with various state agencies have evolved
guidelines, standards and norms for carrying out inspection,
investigation, hydrological studies, structural analysis including
effect of seism city, for safety of the dam structure and evolving
appropriate remedial measures. We have also been providing
consultancy services for dam safety review and appropriate
rehabilitation measures for projects in Yemen.
