Contractor anchored for the first stage of the North Pine Dam Improvement Project

Seqwater has awarded a contractor to deliver enhanced safety benefits at North Pine Dam to prepare the dam for a major upgrade to ensure ongoing safety and water security for years to come.

SRG Global Civil Pty Ltd has been selected to deliver initial strengthening works on North Pine Dam from mid-2025, as part of a more than $69 million investment into the first stage of improvement works on the dam.

Work includes installing more than 50 post-tensioned anchors into the monoliths which form part of the dam wall, ranging from 42-102 metres in length. The anchors will add around 75,000 tonnes of effective weight into the dam wall to further strengthen the structure. The works will support approximately 50 jobs on-site.

Seqwater Executive General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Capital Delivery, Sarah Dixon, said the strengthening works will prepare the dam for majors works and ensure it continues to operate safely and provide water security for generations to come.

“North Pine Dam plays an important role in the SEQ Water Grid and supplies drinking water for the people of north Brisbane and Moreton Bay,” said Ms Dixon.

“While North Pine Dam continues to operate safely under normal conditions, the North Pine Dam Improvement Project will ensure the dam meets modern engineering and design standards.

“The strengthening works commencing this year will deliver enhanced safety benefits and prepare the dam for its major upgrade in the future,” she said.

The strengthening works are expected to commence in mid-2025 and be completed in 2027, weather and construction conditions permitting. 

A Detailed Business Case is underway for the North Pine Dam Improvement Project to inform the design of the planned upgrade. This will be the first significant upgrade on the dam since its original construction in 1976.

Seqwater is committed to keeping the community informed about the project and will be hosting regular community information sessions to provide further details about the upcoming works.
