Enhancing Dam Safety with Advanced Monitoring and Inspection
At Sixense, we deliver comprehensive monitoring and inspection solutions that help dam owners protect communities, ensure regulatory compliance and manage long-term asset performance.
Dam safety begins with sound design and construction — but long-term safety depends on continuously verifying that the structure behaves as intended. Monitoring enables early detection of anomalies, identification of emerging risks and informed decision-making throughout the dam’s lifecycle.
Monitoring Tailings, Embankment and Concrete Dams
For more than 20 years, we have implemented monitoring systems for:
- Tailings storage facilities (TSFs)
- Embankment dams
- Concrete dams and their foundations
Each monitoring system is tailored to the dam type, geometry, age, construction method and site-specific foundation conditions.
Our services extend beyond instrumentation to include:
- Digital Inspection and Condition Assessment
- Monitoring and inspection software systems – Beyond Monitoring™
- Concrete testing and evaluation
- Seepage and leak detection
- Digital modelling and numerical simulation
Whether upgrading legacy instrumentation or delivering a fully integrated turnkey system, we ensure durable, reliable and defensible monitoring solutions.
By combining monitoring expertise, robust instrumentation and advanced data analytics, we help dam owners strengthen safety, optimise maintenance investment and maintain confidence in critical infrastructure.
