Arc Surveying Describes Dam Survey Capabilities and Process

Posted on February 9, 2026

Reliable dams and high‑capacity reservoirs begin with survey data that engineers can fully trust. From foundation verification to deformation monitoring, precision measurements turn complex concrete and rock structures into assets that remain predictable throughout their service life.

By combining 3D laser scanning, RTK GPS, multibeam sonar, UAV LiDAR and geophysical surveys to determine subsurface sediment characteristics and volumes, modern survey teams deliver millimeter‑level models of dam faces, spillways, foundations and surrounding slopes. Engineers gain early insight into subtle movement, confirm construction tolerances and plan maintenance on hard evidence instead of assumptions.

Owners and contractors gain tighter schedules, fewer claims and stronger risk control on every water‑control structure, from new RCC dams to mature reservoirs that require dependable safety and performance monitoring.
