Abstract

Provides guidance for dam owners, engineers, specialist contractors and others responsible for the maintenance, operation and safety of dams. It is concerned with existing reservoirs. The report seeks to give practical guidance on recognising problems which can arise from the deterioration of valves, pipework and associated equipment with age, and to place them in the overall context of dam safety. It sets out a logical staged approach to condition assessment involving location, inspection, monitoring, evaluation of results, and remedial measures. It describes how the hazard and risk posed by each element of a dam's pipework system or influenced by its structural and service condition and its position relative to the dam.
