Abstract
The Burnett river dam is one of the largest roller compacted concrete dams built to date in Australia and is capable of holding in excess of 300,000 Mega-litres of water when full. The environmental implications of building a large dam are myriad and highly political in their nature. In this project a very high priority was placed on mitigating these issues throughout both the design and construction phases of the project as the area where the dam was built being home to platypode, lung fish and rare turtle species.
