  • Overview March 19 Ewen Maddock Dam Is One of Several Dams in South East Queensland Scheduled to Be Upgraded As Part of Our O
    Overview March 19 Ewen Maddock Dam is one of several dams in South East Queensland scheduled to be upgraded as part of our ongoing Dam Improvement Program. The upgrade work is set to begin from July 2019 and will include strengthening the existing embankment and raising the dam wall to increase its floodwater capacity. Work is expected to take up to 18 months, subject to weather conditions and other unexpected delays. About the Dam Ewen Maddock Dam is part of the SEQ Water Grid – a connected network of dams, treatment plants, reservoirs and pipelines supplying drinking water to the region. The dam was constructed across Addlington Creek, a tributary of the Mooloolah River. Construction of the dam was completed in 1976 and the full supply level (FSL) was raised in 1982. Following the independent dam safety review in 2010, a number of improvements were identified at Ewen Maddock Dam and approved for delivery in two stages. In 2012, the stage one upgrade of the dam involved the installation of pressure relief wells into the foundation materials, and construction of a sand filter buttress and overlying weighting berm made of clay along the downstream embankment toe. In 2016, Seqwater engaged an engineering consultant to develop the second stage of the upgrade design. More than twenty-one options were identified during this process. About the Dam Safety Upgrade On 1 February 2019, the Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, Dr Anthony Lynham, announced the project will begin in 2019. The media release can be read here. http://statements.qld.gov.au/Statement/2019/2/1/20m-upgrade-work- for-ewen-maddock-dam The 2019 - 2020 stage two upgrade option will: • add sand filters to the existing earthfill embankment • raise the embankment height with a parapet wall, to increase flood capacity • strengthen the concrete spillway • raise the training walls of the spillway • install emergency outlets in the spillway to enable reservoir drawdown in the case of a dam safety incident.
