Construction of the Hungry Horse Dam in Montana.

"The design function can never be considered finished as long as the dam remains in place; design involvement should continue throughout construction and operation of the project. The design office should establish specific programs for onsite construction and operational inspection for review by appropriate design personnel and technical specialists. The programs should include frequent and mandatory inspections during construction to confirm that site conditions conform to those assumed for design or to determine if design changes may be required to suit the actual conditions. A major requirement is inspection and approval of the dam foundation and foundation treatment before placing of dam materials. Final design inspection of the construction should include complete project surveillance and testing of operating equipment. Operational design inspections should continue throughout the life of the project, in accordance with a formal inspection program covering all project features. Management must program adequate funds to assure dam safety is not compromised by failure to conduct regular and thorough inspections and reviews."[1]

"The design function includes responsibility for planning any dam instrumentation to be installed during construction and/or operation to monitor conditions that could potentially threaten dam safety. The design should identify the purpose of the instrumentation, and include the plans for timely reading, collecting, reducing, and interpreting the data. It should include an advance determination of critical instrument observations or rates of data change, and a plan of action if observations indicate a critical condition may occur."[1]
