Project Management

Providing support in many forms for your capital construction efforts related to implementing an avalanche program or modifying an existing program.

With a strong background in construction management, DHA is well-equipped to provide support in many forms for your capital construction efforts related to implementing an avalanche program or modifying an existing program. This can range from capital construction estimates to implementing and managing the project requirements.

Example:

Union Pacific Railway Avalanche Program, Truckee, California – Provided a full suite of construction management for the installation of four weather stations, the IT backbone for the weather data collection, an Avalauncher installation, permitting with the U.S. Forest Service, and resolution of a potential vibration issue with a pipeline.

Avalanche Risk Reduction Programs

Avalanche Research

DHA and its predecessors (Alcan Avalanche Services) have been involved in avalanche research since 1982. (Read more)

Short Term Risk Reduction

Risk Reduction for projects brief in time or scope, but where some level of avalanche risk exists. (Read more)

Longer Term Risk Reduction

Risk Reduction for projects where avalanche risk is primary and an avalanche safety plan is developed. (Read more)

Concept Planning

Planning for large multi-phased projects with the project's viability not determined until a future date. (Read more)

Quantifying Avalanche Risk

With any kind of transportation corridor, it is possible to quantify the avalanche risk objectively using the Avalanche Hazard Index. (Read more)

Ski Area-Based Avalanche Assessments

DHA is at the forefront of producing concept and implementation plans for conversion from military artillery to Remote Avalanche Control Systems (RACS). (Read more)

Urban Risk Reduction

Recent trends highlight the difficulty of implementing avalanche zoning laws on the interface between wild and urban settings. (Read more)
