Dams
Having more than 200 dam projects under our belt means that
Barr has the experience to keep your project on schedule and
within budget. We can also use our experience to help you
save money: when there are problems with a dam, our mechancial,
structural, and hydraulic engineers develop cost-saving solutions.
 Our
work with dams and impoundments across the Midwest has earned
us the respect of regulatory agencies, which helps your permitting
process go smoothly. In particular, our experience with dams
regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission can
be an important advantage for our clients. Work at hydropower
dams can be delayed by complications during FERC review; Barr
frequently works with clients to facilitate the regulatory
process.
