Dams and dikes are a critical part of the world's infrastructure. They are used to create reservoirs of drinking water, to provide flood control, to generate electricity, to impound waste materials and for recreation. However, when dams and dikes fail, the results are often catastrophic.
DGSI provides materials testing equipment that is used to test the soil, concrete and steel used during the construction of the dams as well as instrumentation that is used to monitor both the construction of the dam and the condition of the critical design elements for its entire lifespan.
