  1. 01

    Gates and turbines are operated remotely, and water is dangerous.

    • Spillway gates, turbines, and generators are controlled from a remote operations centre.
    • A gate opened wrongly floods everything downstream of the dam.
    • People fish, swim, and live below your structure.
    ASK
    Are your spillway gates and generating units operated by remote control?
  2. 02

    Grid reliability standards apply to your control systems.

    • Federal reliability rules impose security requirements on systems that control generation.
    • Compliance is audited and findings carry financial penalties per day.
    • Penalties are assessed against the registered entity, which is you.
    ASK
    Which of your systems fall within grid reliability security requirements?
  3. 03

    Dam safety monitoring is continuous and instrumented.

    • Seepage, movement, and water level instruments report continuously.
    • That instrumentation is the early warning for structural failure.
    • A dam failure is a mass casualty event downstream.
    ASK
    How is your dam safety instrumentation monitored and alarmed?
