McMahon Services designed and fabricated a complex steel frame to ensure verticality upon lifting and placement. The inlet pit cover design was also changed from original design to allow for a single sheet of fibre-reinforced plastic to be slid on and off the top of the lid and held down with four bolts. This option ended up being much lighter and easier to remove than the original heavier design that called for an aluminium cover raised in 4 x 4 metre sections. A significant sustainability initiative for the region, the dam will substitute at least 800 mega litres per annum of River Murray water used in the Barossa, with stormwater harvested on the vineyards. HydroPlan irrigation design engineers have enhanced the water security by connecting to treated wastewater from Bolivar, and providing for managed aquifer recharge expansion to include stormwater anticipated from the Roseworthy Township Expansion.
