Commemorating National Dam Safety Awareness Day. May 31 marks National Dam Safety Awareness Day, a day established to remember the tragic South Fork Dam failure in 1889 and to emphasize the importance of dam safety. At Niricson, we are committed to making infrastructure safer by providing dam guardians from safety engineers to structural engineers and executives, with detailed insights into their structures, ensuring the reliability and safety of these critical assets. Dams provide essential benefits like flood control, hydroelectric generation, and water storage. Our patented inspection technologies, AUTOSPEX and DRONIC, offer precise, AI-backed defect detection and condition monitoring to help maintain the safety and functionality of dams and spillways. We are proud and committed to serving the industry in our capacity. Join us in prioritizing dam safety and ensuring these vital structures continue to serve our communities safely. #DamSafety #NationalDamSafetyDay #InfrastructureSafety #AUTOSPEX #Niricson #Innovation #Hydroelectric #FloodControl #WaterStorage

Managed by the Yuba Water Agency, the New Bullards Bar Dam in Yuba County California, is the 5th tallest dam in the US, supplying water for Hydroelectric Power Generation, agriculture and fisheries. To deploy the digital condition survey and create the digital twin model, Yuba worked with Niricson, a Bently iTwin Ventures portfolio company, to capture a 3D reality mesh from thousands of drone-captured images, process it in iTwin Capture, and visualize it in #AUTOSPEX . Tim Truong, chief dam safety engineer at Yuba Water Agency, envisioned making the days of surveyors risking treacherous trails to collect data manually a thing of the past. He emphasized the remote operation and new capabilities of digital condition surveys, highlighting its value in tracking the dam’s stability over time, even in its somewhat isolated location. Compared to its previous manual monitoring system, digital condition surveys will provide far greater insights into what’s happening with the dam, creating a base for comparison year over year, and leading to better maintenance and capital planning. #NewBullardsBarDam #YubaWaterAgency #DigitalTwins #InfrastructureInnovation #Niricson
