BULWER DAM GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS

We were appointed to undertake the geotechnical investigations for the design and construction of the 30 m high by 620 m long Bulwer Dam embankment wall.

The project was part of Sisonke District Municipality’s Greater Bulwer/Donnybrook Regional Bulk Water Supply Scheme.

Our work scope included investigating the material for construction of the dam wall. This included drilling, trial pitting, profiling laboratory testing, stability and seepage analysis, foundation preparation and design of the embankment.
