VINCI wins a contract to modernise a dam
near Brisbane in Australia
- Safety improvement and
modernisation of the Cressbrook Dam in Toowoomba (Queensland)
- Increasing flood capacity for
greater climate resilience
- A project worth over €86
million
Seymour Whyte, a VINCI Construction subsidiary
in Australia, has been awarded, in a consortium with the
engineering company SMEC, the contract to improve Cressbrook Dam,
in the Toowoomba region, around 100 km from Brisbane. The
"alliance" type contract brings together the design-build
consortium and the client, Toowoomba Regional Council, in a single
team.
The project focuses on a dual objective: to
increase the dam’s capacity in order to protect the Toowoomba
region from flooding, and to strengthen the infrastructure's
climate resilience.
Construction works, which will take around two
years to complete, include upgrades to access roads, widening of
concrete spillway, extensive upgrades to the dam’s filtration
system, and raising the dam’s crest height.
Lastly, Seymour Whyte intends to deploy a major
environmental scheme, including the recycling of materials for the
construction of the dam wall and technical improvements to allow
for natural fish migration.
