Examples of Engineering Geology Projects For Dams  
  • Provided engineering geology analysis for the seismic stability evaluation of Twin Lakes (concrete arch) and Lake Mary (concrete gravity) dams. Project included detailed bedrock mapping of abutments, seismic refraction survey, and slope stability analysis.

  • Conducted engineering geophysics (seismic refraction) survey across the bedrock abutments of Red Pine Dam as part of a seismic hazard analysis project (see illustration below). Also mapped bedrock joints and discontinuities for seepage analysis and slope failure mode analysis.

  • Performed the geologic site reconnaissance and seismic design criteria for the reconstruction and enlargement of an earthfill dam in Payson Canyon, Utah.
