ABOUT THE COMPANY

Kia Ora from Damwatch

Peter Amos


Dams and hydraulic structures are valuable assets and need to be maintained and operated by people with the right technical skills and experience. Damwatch can support you in understanding dam safety risks as you develop and operate your assets in a continually changing environment.

Each dam is unique, due to its size, the materials it is made of, the geological setting and natural hazards that are present. Damwatch Engineering Ltd is a specialist consultancy with the technical expertise needed to design dams, assess their on-going performance and upgrade any deficiencies to meet the standards in your country. Everyone at Damwatch is passionate about what they do and what we can do to help the client. We have won awards for smart solutions that keep the asset in generation while remediation takes place.

At Damwatch we apply a combination of specialist engineering skills needed to design and repair dams and dam safety expertise needed to understand how a dam works, how to recognise signs of failure, how to protect people and the environment downstream and provide guidelines on safe operation and maintenance. These skills are the core of the service that Damwatch Engineering provides. Dam owners need to know their dams are safe, efficient and have a long asset life. With our significant combined experience, we truly understand how a dam works and what can be done with it. Our advice can be trusted.
