Aurecon and Entura are partnering to deliver detailed design advisory services to Queensland bulk water authority Seqwater for a project to upgrade Sideling Creek Dam. The firms’ appointment follows a dam safety review and recent completion of complementary investigations and preliminary design of the upgrade work.
Sideling Creek Dam is located in the Moreton Bay regional area, approximately 24 km north of Brisbane. The 23m high zoned earthfill dam was built in 1969 and upgraded in 1984. It consists of a 500m long embankment main dam and an 8m high, 70m long embankment saddle dam.
“The Sideling Creek Dam upgrade is a critical part of Seqwater’s Dam Improvement Program and we’re pleased to have the ongoing support of Aurecon and Entura,” said Colin Thompson, Seqwater’s Project Manager.
“The approved option for the upgrade involves strengthening the main dam and spillway and will allow the dam to be restored to its original full supply level once the upgrade is complete.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Seqwater on the Sideling Creek Dam upgrade to ensure it meets the Queensland dam safety guidelines into the future,” commented Aurecon-Entura Project Director, David Thomas.
Entura and Aurecon have been involved in other upgrade projects for Seqwater including Cooloolabin Dam upgrade and Moogerah Dam upgrade.
