Is your dam silted up or do you need a new one built?
Premium dam cleanouts, desilting, enlargements and new farm dam builds across Brisbane acreage, Scenic Rim, Somerset and Lockyer Valley, delivered by experienced earthmoving operators on a fixed-price contract.
The driest stretch in years is forecast - and your dam is already smaller than you think.
Last year was already dry. This year could be worse. If your dam hasn't been cleaned in a while, it's holding a fraction of what it should - and that fraction has to last longer than usual. The time to deal with it is now, not when the stock are standing in mud.
Reduced storage capacity
Silt takes up the space your water should be using, leaving you exposed when rain is late or demand increases.
Messy banks and poor access
Collapsed edges, boggy access and poor batters make future maintenance harder and more expensive.
Pump and livestock issues
Shallow, dirty water can clog pumps, reduce water quality and create stress when stock water matters most.
Cheap cleanouts can create expensive problems
A dam cleanout done badly can damage the shape, weaken banks or leave the same problem waiting to return.
Dam works for property owners who want it done once, done properly.
