Transforming Dam Safety Programs
Dam safety engineers face the challenge of mitigating risks associated with aging infrastructure, labor shortages, rising maintenance costs, and the impact of climate change. With Bentley OpenRoads, you can modernize your dam monitoring and maintenance practices using digital twin technology. This innovative approach enables timely and risk-informed decision-making, consequence analysis, and the implementation of remote early warning systems for dam and levee protection.
Efficiency and Effectiveness Through Visualization
Utilizing iTwin Capture, you can visualize your dam in an immersive and geo-referenced 3D reality mesh. This not only provides a comprehensive context for automated condition monitoring and inspection but also facilitates the identification of defects or changes in the dam's condition. Additionally, it streamlines any re-design processes, saving time and resources.
Actionable Insights for Proactive Monitoring
iTwin IoT delivers actionable insights by integrating all sources of dam surveillance data. By detecting early signs of changing behaviors that could compromise structural performance and integrity, this feature allows for timely intervention. With alerts and reporting functionalities, collaboration and the development of emergency action plans are streamlined, ensuring a proactive approach to dam safety.
Enhanced Decision-Making Capabilities
iTwin Experience promotes engagement and collaboration, empowering users to make fast and informed decisions. This leads to improved response times, especially in hard-to-reach areas, where timely actions are crucial. By prioritizing dam safety monitoring, you can effectively reduce risks and uphold the integrity of your dam portfolio.
Real-World Application and Success Stories
Organizations like the Yuba Water Agency have already harnessed the power of Bentley's iTwin Applications for situational intelligence, significantly enhancing their risk assessment processes and ensuring public safety. By investing in real-time, automated monitoring solutions with iTwin technology, these agencies demonstrate a strong commitment to infrastructure resilience and public safety.
