Integrated Monitoring and Inspection for Dams
At Sixense Oceania, we deliver integrated monitoring and inspection solutions to support the safety and performance of dams and water-retaining structures.
Our services cover embankment, concrete and tailings dams across construction, operation and rehabilitation phases. We support asset owners and operators in understanding dam behaviour under normal and extreme conditions.
By combining field instrumentation, monitoring and digital inspection, we provide continuous visibility of structural and geotechnical performance. This supports informed decision-making throughout the asset lifecycle.
Our approach helps manage risk, protect downstream communities and support responsible dam ownership.
Managing Risk and Compliance for Dam Assets
Dams present complex and long-term risks that require continuous assessment and control. These include deformation, seepage, pore pressure and structural response.
Accurate, reliable monitoring data is essential to demonstrate compliance with regulatory frameworks and industry guidelines. It also supports early identification of adverse trends and emerging failure modes.
Our solutions enable asset owners to track dam performance in real time and respond proactively to changing conditions. This reduces uncertainty and supports defensible engineering decisions.
By integrating monitoring, inspections and reporting, we help clients meet governance, safety and assurance obligations.
Capabilities & Flagship Solutions for Dam Monitoring
We design, install and operate monitoring systems tailored to each dam’s risk profile and operational requirements. Solutions range from manual instrumentation to fully automated, site-wide systems.
Our capabilities include geotechnical and structural instrumentation, automated deformation monitoring, pore pressure and seepage monitoring, and satellite-based deformation monitoring using InSAR. Environmental monitoring supports broader risk and compliance needs.
Monitoring data is integrated into secure digital platforms, including our monitoring information management software, Beyond Monitoring or the owner’s existing monitoring platform. Dashboards, alerts and reporting provide clear visibility for engineers and asset managers.
Our proprietary technologies, including Beyond Patrol and Atlas-InSAR, support wide-area surveillance and long-term performance assessment across dam portfolios.
