U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District dam safety team, along with members from the Engineer Research and Development Center, use the USACE Dam Bot 1.0 to perform a conduit inspection at Taylorsville Lake’s Dam in Taylorsville, Kentucky, Sep. 19, 2024.
The robot, which can be operated remotely, prevents the need for personnel to enter confined spaces. Dam Bot 1.0 has an extendable arm to photograph difficult to reach areas, aiding dam safety personnel with assessments of dam outlet works and providing beneficial information with its 360° photogrammetry and LiDAR capabilities.
The Louisville District is responsible for the safety of 17 reservoir dams and 9 navigation dams affecting parts of four states. The Louisville District has a comprehensive monitoring and inspection program to keep its dams safe from failure. Uncontrolled water can be a life threatening and destructive force, so USACE and the Louisville District strive to design, construct, maintain and operate safe dams.
