The instrumentation installed on dams have increased, which creates a demand for the dam owners to monitor and analyze data from the instrumentation. Swedish dam owners use the computer program IntelliDAM to monitor data from the dams. IntelliDAM can for example be used to create diagrams and tables, edit incorrect data and to determine alarm values, which can increase dam safety. This thesis aims to create a support to use IntelliDAM for analysis and evaluation of an embankment dam. The support aims to be easy to use, to create an overview of the instrumentation data, to be used to evaluate the situation in the dam, and to be used when creating similar supports for other dams. Based on information about embankment dams and instrumentation, pore pressure was set as the main factor in the evaluation. Secondary factors in the evaluation were turbidity, water flow, precipitation, and temperature. To create the support the program MapInfo initially was used to generate layouts of the dam with dots representing instrumentation. The layouts from MapInfo were uploaded to IntelliDAM and connected to instrumentation data and diagrams. An instruction describing the process for creating the support was written. Finally, the author of this thesis has discovered flaws in the program IntelliDAM and in the instrumentation data, which affects the created support. The information would improve with correct data and possibilities to visualize data based on other variables than time.
