The management and regulation of large inventories of embankment dams requires the use of tools and analytical techniques that can provide a uniform basis for comparison. Index Condition and Risk Assessment were two of those tools. Those two assessment can be combined to make an comprehensive assessment because it’s main data are visual condition of dam. With those similarity, how to develop dam assessment based on dam’s condition and safety are the main goals of this research. On these research, Condition Index with index from 1 to 5 are used for the condition assessment. Meanwhile, ICOLD Modified Method are used as safety evaluation aspect. Those two assessment system were combined using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to find it’s weight for the assessment model. AHP were used to analyze AHP’s linear scale questionnaire as primary data. These research obtain that the developed model had some limitations, so the assessment aren’t comprehensive enough.
