AEM Elements® 360 – software for Dam Safety

AEM Elements 360 (formerly Contrail), web-based specialized software, is a cornerstone of an Active Dam Safety Monitoring program. Designed to deliver dependable, accurate, and easily interpretable data, AEM Elements 360 empowers dam operators and safety officials to make informed decisions with confidence.

By combining locally collected sensor data with external sources such as weather forecasts and hydrologic models, AEM Elements 360 offers 24/7 monitoring of customized alert thresholds. When potentially hazardous conditions arise, automated alerts are triggered, notifying key personnel in accordance with Emergency Action Plan (EAP) protocols. This proactive approach enhances situational awareness and ensures dam systems are functioning as intended—offering users peace of mind and a higher standard of operational safety.

Examples of display & alert configurations:

  • Rainfall Summaries
  • Stream Summaries
  • Custom Dashboard Displays
  • Embedded River Forecast Center (RFC) Graphs
  • Custom Thresholds for Display and Alerts
  • Real-time Alerts & EAP (Emergency Action Plan) Notifications
