Why Working With Us Can Help Save Your Dam Construction in NSW

We understand that many farmers want to try and tackle these large projects by themselves. The truth is that farm dam construction in NSW is a tricky process, which can encounter a range of issues. Here are some common issues and how we can help you avoid them

  • Choosing the right dam site is not as simple as pointing and clicking. The main reason people choose poor sites for their dams is simply that they lack site assessment experience. They do not know what makes for a good site, so they don’t know what makes a bad one. Luckily, with over 20 years of experience, we can help you choose the ideal site.
  • Dams require a specific – and rather unique – soil composition. Dams need clay to seal them off properly. Our team only uses kaolinite clay – also called white clay or China clay. The reason ordinary soil won’t work is because it often leads to collapse or seepage from the dam.
  • Dams require specific construction techniques applied with experience. It is never as simple as digging a hole and filling it with water. You need to create a well-compacted dam using the appropriate soils, which help create an impervious levee.

  • How big should the dam be to meet your requirements? Dams come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s crucial to consider what size you need yours to be before committing to the build. Knowing the precise size allows for the correct preparation of necessary equipment and materials before starting.
  • What is the purpose of the dam? Dams serve different purposes and knowing whether yours is for water harvesting, filtering, or even for an ornamental fishery helps us better plan and prepare.
