The planning, design, and construction of a new dam requires many different tasks involving a variety of disciplines. Common tasks include but are not limited to:
- Legal Agreements
- Permitting
- Public Outreach
- Hazard Potential Classification
- Water Demand / Population Studies
- Benefit-Cost Analyses
- Hydrologic Studies
- Environmental Impact Studies
- Reservoir Sedimentation Analyses
- Preliminary Site Investigations
- Geologic and Geotechnical Investigations
- Seismic Investigations
- Structural / Embankment Design
- Hydraulic Design
- Creation of an Operation and Maintenance Program
- Risk Communication
- Construction Management
