Michael Canino Featured in International Water Power and Dam Construction
The dams and reservoirs market has seen tremendous growth over the past two decades, driven by factors like evolving engineering practices, increased demand due to industry and population growth, and infrastructure modernization. A recent article from International Water Power and Dam Construction magazine explores this boom with insights from leading industry experts.
Michael Canino, President of Dam and Levee Engineering Services — Strategy and Execution, highlights a key factor behind the surge in demand: the widespread adoption of risk-informed decision-making. This approach, which integrates detailed risk analysis into engineering evaluations and decision-making, has revolutionized how many U.S. federal agencies plan and execute projects. Canino notes, “The adoption of risk-informed decision-making approaches over the last few decades has positively transformed the way many U.S. federal agencies approach engineering analyses and design. Many states are now beginning to adopt similar approaches.” This shift in how projects are evaluated and executed is contributing to the growing market for dam and reservoir infrastructure, with states increasingly following the federal lead.”
