Ensuring the reliable performance and operation of structures throughout their lifespan is essential, especially considering the potentially severe costs and damages that can result from structural failures. The behavior and remediation of dams and geotechnical structures are particularly critical, as these infrastructures play vital roles in water resource management, flood control, and energy supply. Given that dams and geotechnical structures are affected by various factors—including water pressure, seismic activity, temperature fluctuations, and changing environmental conditions over time—understanding their behavior is crucial for predicting potential issues and vulnerabilities. By accurately assessing these structures, engineers can develop proactive measures to address problems before they escalate into significant damage. Identifying at-risk points helps prevent unfortunate incidents and minimizes both financial losses and risks to human safety.

From an economic and social perspective, the remediation of these structures is equally important. Taking the necessary steps to enhance the integrity and performance of dams and geotechnical structures can extend their operational lifespan and lower maintenance costs. Furthermore, improving the safety and functionality of these infrastructures fosters public confidence in water and energy systems, which significantly contributes to the sustainable development of communities and enhances the quality of life for residents.

Abgeer Consulting Engineers Company, with a strong background in behavior mapping and the remediation of geotechnical structures—particularly earthen dams—is recognized as one of the most experienced consulting engineering firms in the country.
