Tasmanian Water & Environmental Services provides comprehensive dam planning services for both new and existing dams. We lead and support dam upgrade and development projects from early concept through to construction and commissioning, ensuring dam projects have integrity and are technically sound, environmentally responsible, and fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
Our integrated approach combines engineering, environmental assessment, and project management to deliver practical outcomes for landowners, agricultural operations, and water infrastructure projects.
We provide start-to-end project management services for dam and water infrastructure developments, coordinating consultants, approvals, design inputs, and construction phases to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and safely.
We undertake dam options assessments to evaluate potential locations, layouts, construction methods, and operational outcomes. These assessments support informed and confident decision-making during early planning stages.
We prepare and manage Dam Works Permit Applications, ensuring all supporting engineering, technical, environmental, and safety documentation is complete and aligned with approval requirements.
Accurate site information is critical to dam planning. We undertake dam site surveys to inform design, earthworks calculations, and compliance documentation.
We provide a range of environmental assessments required for dam planning and approvals, including: Threatened flora and fauna identification Threatened vegetation community assessments Natural Values and threatened species assessments Conservation of Freshwater Ecosystem Values (CFEV) reports Geo-conservation assessments. These assessments ensure dam projects are appropriately planned to manage environmental risks and meet statutory requirements.
We prepare Dam Works Practices Plans, outlining construction methodologies, environmental controls, and risk mitigation measures to support responsible dam development.
We support irrigation scheme and stock water planning and development, delivering practical water storage and distribution solutions for agricultural rural operations.
Our engineering expertise includes hydrological and hydraulic calculations, Spillway determination and sizing, and Sediment and erosion control plans. These services ensure dams are designed to safely manage inflows, flood events, and long-term performance.
Where required, we prepare specialist management plans, including: Offset Management Plans for Dams Acid Sulphate Soils Management Plans Coastal Zone Management Plans. These specialised plans support compliance and responsible environmental stewardship.
We provide planning and assessment services for dairy effluent ponds, ensuring systems are designed and located to meet environmental, operational, and regulatory requirements.
From feasibility and environmental assessment through to engineering design and construction support, We delivers integrated dam planning solutions tailored to each project’s technical, environmental, and operational needs.
