We work closely with landowners, developers, and regulators to ensure dams are planed, assessed, and managed in accordance with relevant standards and best-practice guidelines.

Our Dam Engineering Services

Dam
Works
Permit
Applications

We prepare Dam Works Permit Applications, ensuring all required technical documentation, assessments, and calculations are completed accurately to meet regulatory requirements and approval processes.

Dam
Site
Investigations

Tasmanian Water & Environmental Services undertakes detailed dam site investigations to assess site conditions, constraints, and risks. These investigations inform safe dam planning design and reduce uncertainty throughout project lifecycle.

Site
Descriptions &
Suitability Assessments

We provide comprehensive site descriptions and suitability assessments, evaluating geotechnical conditions, hydrology, and environmental considerations to determine whether a site is appropriate for dam construction or modification.

Dam Capacity, Estimation & Earthworks Calculations

Accurate calculations are critical for safe dam design. Our services include storage capacity assessments, catchment estimation, and earthworks calculations to support design development, cost planning, and compliance requirements.

Costings, Estimations & Feasibility Assessments

We deliver clear and practical cost estimates and feasibility assessments, helping clients understand project viability, construction requirements, and potential risks before committing to works.

Dam
Surveys

We conduct dam surveys to collect essential field data for design, assessment, reporting, and compliance. Surveys support accurate modelling, performance assessment and cost vs benefit for dam assets.

Hazard & Consequence Category Assessments

We undertake Hazard and Consequence Category Assessments to identify the potential impacts of dam failure on downstream people, property, infrastructure, and the environment. These assessments are a key component of dam safety and regulatory compliance.

Dam Safety
Guidance & Risk Assessments

We provide dam safety guidelines and risk assessments to assist owners in identifying hazards, managing risk, and meeting ongoing safety obligations. Our assessments support informed decision-making and long-term dam performance.
