The City of Calgary awarded the Governors of the University of Alberta a contract valued at $117,600 for a research project aimed at developing improved methods to estimate the consequence failure of small dams. The project, vetted by the Canadian Dam Association and the Government of Alberta, seeks to establish a standard approach for dam safety analysis within North America. The award was granted through a non-competitive process under the Alberta Purchasing feed, with the contract focusing on engineering and research services.
Description
Research initiative to refine calculations of dam breaches for relatively small dams. The project aims to develop improved methods to estimate the consequence failure of small dams, vetted by the Canadian Dam Association and the Government of Alberta, potentially becoming a standard approach in North America.
