Running new piezometer cables within embankment Dam safety upgrades
Melbourne Water Corporation requires the construction of safety upgrades to the Upper Yarra Dam to reduce the dam safety risk of the storage facility to acceptable levels in accordance with Australian National Committee on Large Dams (ANCOLD) guidelines.
The works reduce the key dam safety risk of embankment failure due to internal erosion and piping.
