Grahamstown Dam

GHD designed the dam augmentation, delivered the environmental audit and provided geotechnical advice throughout the Grahamstown Dam design, construction and commissioning phases.

The project involved designing a raised embankment and spillway with a labyrinth weir for the region’s largest dam, increasing its storage capacity by 50 per cent.  The upgrade of Grahamstown Dam increase’s the Hunter region’s ability to cope with prolonged drought.

The project was the Overall Winner at the 2006 Engineers Australia (Newcastle Division), Engineering Excellence.
