Baroota Dam Inspection Checklist

This Baroota Dam inspection checklist supports annual dam safety assessments. It guides teams through site information, conditions, and dam safety management requirements, then covers detailed checks across the crest, downstream and upstream faces, and abutments, including cracks, erosion, vegetation, subsidence, seepage, animal activity, and wave effects. It includes spillway elements such as approach, ogee crest, splitter walls, channel, stilling basin, and erosion protection. Outlet works and valve operations are documented for top, middle, bottom, guard, bypass, scour, and isolating valves, plus tunnels, security, drainage, and access. The template also addresses reservoir rim stability, communications, power supply, instrumentation (piezometers, standpipes, survey targets, seepage weirs), and surveillance frequencies aligned with ANCOLD guidelines.
