Different technologies, that have been developed and proven elsewhere, provide high quality and reliable information to the end-user. They are implemented in an integrated manner in DAMSAFE.
- A risk model based on Risk-informed Dam Safety Assessment evaluates existing risk compared with international tolerability recommendations, identifies, analyses and prioritizes risk reduction measures and evaluates the impact on risk reduction of actions.
- The online monitoring system enables monitoring of the weather (e.g. rainfall), the dam, the surface water levels and water quality in the reservoir.
- Persistent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-InSAR) is a radar technique used to generate maps of surface deformation with millimetre precision. In combination with dam safety modelling, it provides information on long-term risks and prioritizing in Operation and Maintenance (O&M) efforts. It also detects anomalies as an indicator for the need of short term in-situ inspections.
- FEWS DAM-Live is an online monitoring system that provides safety assessments of a dike or dam. Real-time data of water levels obtained from sensors installed along its profile are constantly imported and processed for stability analysis. The platform can perform also predictions of the stability of the dike or dam based on input water levels obtained from the hydraulic/hydrological modelling suite SOBEK.
