Dam Capacity Surveys

Comprehensive Dam Capacity Surveys

Our specialised service in dam capacity surveying offers precise measurement and assessment of your dam's water-holding capacity. We can provide highly accurate and repeatable measurements by utilising state-of-the-art hydrographic equipment, essential for efficient water resource management.


Here's what our Dam Capacity Survey services encompass:


  • Water Volume Measurement: We use advanced hydrographic equipment to measure the exact volume of water that a dam can hold. These measurements are highly accurate and repeatable, providing consistent data over time.

  • Catchment Area Calculation: Understanding the catchment area above your dam is crucial for effective water management. We provide accurate calculations of this area, assisting with your Construction Licence requirements.

  • As Installed Capacity Reports: We provide comprehensive reports detailing the as-installed capacity of your dam. These reports are valuable for planning, development, and compliance purposes.

  • Dam Wall Height Calculation: Precise measurement of your dam wall height forms part of our comprehensive dam capacity survey service.

  • Safety Surveillance Monitoring: Ensuring the safety and stability of your dam is paramount. We use cutting-edge Total Station measuring equipment for safety surveillance monitoring, offering reliable and precise data.

Our dam capacity surveys are crucial for the following:

  • Effective Water Management: By accurately measuring the volume of water your dam can hold and calculating the catchment area above it, our surveys support effective water resource management.

  • Construction Licensing: Our catchment area calculations and as-installed capacity reports assist in meeting Construction Licence requirements.

  • Safety Compliance: Our safety surveillance monitoring using Total Station measuring equipment ensures your dam meets safety standards and guidelines.
