Dam (Body and Spillway) Inspection

Keystone Co., Ltd. has accumulated years of experience and specialized techniques in dam body and spillway surveys and inspections. Using rope access techniques, technicians safely and quickly move across wide areas of dam bodies and spillways, conducting detailed inspections through close-up visual and contact observations. Additionally, by combining drone aerial photography, we can accurately inspect areas that would normally be difficult to check. This achieves excellent results in both time performance and cost performance.

Main Inspection Items

Inspection of damage to dam bodies and spillways (cracks, flaking, deterioration, etc.)

Core sampling (including long cores over 2 meters)

Photo documentation of abnormalities and creation of damage diagrams (CAD)
