Dams are an essential component of an efficient community, creating economic and domestic benefits. They are constructed for a range of specific purposes including flood control, hydroelectric power production, irrigation, water supply, sediment control, and navigation.
Dam construction can be a complex and difficult process, requiring expertise, clear focus and a flexible approach to project design and delivery. There are a range of types of dams from earth dams to mass concrete. A large number of Australian dams require remediation works to bring the structural capacity to current standards, or upgrade works in order to service growing communities for years to come.
Geotech has played an integral part in Australia’s dam construction and remediation works, helping communities thrive over the last 40 years.
