Dams are essentail infrastructures that protect communities, regulate water resources, and support energy production. Their safety is not just a regulatory obligation, it's a critical responsibility to prevent disasters and ensure long-term sustainability.
Since April 11, 2002, the Dam Safety Act has regulated dam management in Quebec. Enacted in response to the Saguenay flood of July 1996, this legislation aims to protect people, infrastructure, and the environment by enforcing strict safety standards.
Compliance with these requirements relies on the expertise of specialized engineers. From design to operation, including maintenance and periodic inspections, the application of this law requires the involvement of qualified professionals to ensure dams meet regulatory standards.
Whether you own a private dam or manage a public structure, it is essential to ensure your infrastructure complies with legal requirements.
