Containment Dams
Containment Dam & Tailings Storage Construction
We specialise in the excavation and construction of containment dams, water storage reservoirs, and Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) across Australia. From mining operations to critical agricultural infrastructure, our team delivers robust, impermeable liquid and waste storage solutions built to withstand Australia’s harshest climate conditions.
Comprehensive Storage & Containment Solutions
- Mining Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs): High-specification dams built to securely store mine tailings and processed byproducts, featuring multi-layered containment systems.
- Environmental & Leachate Ponds: Specialised containment cells for industrial wastewater, chemical runoff, and landfill leachate designed to eliminate any risk of groundwater contamination.
- Agricultural & Farm Water Dams: Large-scale rural water infrastructure, turkey’s nest dams, and irrigation reservoirs constructed to optimise water security and minimise evaporation losses.
- Stormwater Retention & Sediment Basins: Civil infrastructure basins designed to manage extreme weather events, control sediment runoff, and meet strict local council drainage compliance.
Fleet Capabilities & Engineering Excellence
- Precision Bulk Earthworks: Utilising high-capacity excavators, articulated dump trucks, and GPS-guided scrapers to handle cut-and-fill operations with absolute structural control.
- Advanced Liner Installation: Expert installation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembranes, geosynthetic clay liners (GCL), and specialised geotextiles to guarantee zero-leak performance.
- Engineered Clay Core Construction: Sourcing, blending, and placing high-plasticity clay in strict, thin lifts with heavy sheepfoot rollers to build flawless, impermeable core walls.
- 3D GPS Machine Guidance: Integration of Topcon technology to ensure every batter, spillway, and crest exactly matches engineering designs.
