Dams and Power Plants: Structural Safety, Proper Sizing of Dams, Probable Maximum Precipitation, Probable Maximum Flood, Dam Inspection, Spillway Inspection, Power Plant Repair, Transmission Line Inspection, Spillway Repair, Levee Reconstruction

The recent devastating earthquake in Haiti underscores the need for preventative mitigation and restoration efforts for Haiti and for the many dams, power plants (nuclear and conventional), transmission lines, water and sewage pipelines, oil wells, and offshore oil rigs in the U.S. and around the world that my be in danger of collapse or partial destruction - in the event of an earthquake, storm, or other natural stress.
