- W2242610783 abstract "Somerset Dam was the first large Australian dam to provide significant, controllable Hood mitigation and lo combine this function with urban water storage in the one structure, the first to adopt cone type discharge regulators, tractor type sluice gates and spillway sector gates. The Stanley River Works Board, builders of the dam, shares with the Tennessee Valley Authority a world first in locating high pressure sluices beneath spillway sector gates. Other practices were introduced for the first time in Australia such as the use of unit graphs for the design hydrograph, model experiments for dissipator, sluice and emergency coaster gate design, concrete permeability measurement and air entrainment. It incorporated the most advanced Australian design and construction features for its time and was the second Australian dam for which all concrete materials were weight batched and concrete consolidated by vibration. A substantial construction village was built, a considerable portion of which is still intact. At its completion in 19S9 it had the highest storage to capital cost ratio as well as the most effective flood mitigation for the country's largest flood prone population. Finally, it relieved the chronic headworks water storage problem for the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich as well as providing employment during the 1930s depression and training a workforce which was invaluable for the construction of northern defence works to resist the advance of Japanese forces during the second world war. In view of the above it would appear that Somerset Dam is a worthy candidate for a National Engineering Landmark award and for inclusion in the National Heritage Register as, up to now, its heritage value has been largely overlooked. The factors leading to this situation are examined." @default.
