Powerhouse Modernization and Dam Safety Inspections
In partnership with our hydropower program and Seattle City Light, we provided generator upgrades at Diablo Powerhouse and Boundary Powerhouse, and conducted dam safety inspections at Diablo Dam, Ross Dam and Gorge Dam.

We provided engineering services to help bring the Southport Levee into compliance with federal and state design criteria as well as unlock more than 300 acres of land for ecosystem restoration and public recreation in the West Sacramento metro area.
Dam Feasibility Design and Risk-Informed Assessments
