Your Liability and Responsibility
Dam owners are responsible for the safe operation and maintenance of their dams and inspection is a key element of any dam safety program. Many older dams do not meet current safety standards as set by the WDNR. And although dam owners should routinely inspect their dams, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) requires regular inspections of dams by professional engineers who specialize in dam safety in order to minimize the danger to life, health and property. Dams must be inspected once every two to ten years, depending on the hazard rating of the dam.
Kunkel Engineering Group has licensed engineers who not only have proven experience in dam inspection, but also have extensive knowledge of the WDNR's dam safety inspection program. For more information regarding dam inspections as well as the WDNR's Dam Safety Program, please Contact Us.
