Leverage and improve on the significant investment that has already been made in performing PFMA’s, and use this information to perform SQRAs for individual dams or dam portfolios. These assessments can then be used as a screening tool to identify PFM’s and overall risks that are not likely to meet Tolerable Risk Guidelines (TRG) based on life safety, and as a prioritization tool for reducing risk, performing additional investigations or studies, or performing quantitative risk assessments.

Successful design and construction of filters and drains is dependent not only on appropriate gradation design, but also on a number of practicalities – filter compaction methods and requirements; filter and drain zone dimensions and placement methods; material sources for filters and drains; filter fines content; drain pipe configurations; drain pipe materials; among others.
