HDR ENSURES SAFE OPERATIONS AT DIABLO DAM WITH A DIGITAL TWIN

Employment of Artificial Intelligence and Engineering Data, Helps Improving Maintenance and Decision-making. Seeking to Prevent Dam Disasters In February 2017, heavy rainfall in northern California overwhelmed the Oroville Dam. Officials discovered that erosion over time caused a crater to form in the main spillway, limiting the amount of water that could be discharged and contributing to Lake Oroville’s rising water level. As a result, water flowed over the previously unused emergency spillway, causing significant ground erosion and damage to the dam. Since the dam faced the possibility of collapse, more…
