Consequences Evaluation for Dams and Levees
Owners of new and existing dams, dikes, levees, and other hydraulic containment structures depend on consultants with expertise in geotechnical engineering, hydrology and hydraulics, and risk management. They need a reliable provider with a proven track record delivering a wide range of technical solutions.

Practice Specifics
As an integral part of the risk management process, our dedicated staff regularly conduct screening, qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative analyses to evaluate both direct consequences (interaction with floodwater) and indirect consequences (unsafe conditions resulting from flooding) using industry best practices. Geosyntec uses a multidisciplinary approach with teams comprised of engineers, scientists, economists, and financial analysts.
Our team approaches consequences assessments by addressing key considerations, including population at risk, hazard characteristics, ability, timing, and effectiveness of warnings, community preparedness, evacuation processes, fatality rates, economic damages, and environmental losses.
