Dam safety training
For over a century, Hydro Tasmania designed and built over 50 major dams using a variety of methods.
With a wealth of experience and as a recognised leader in dam design, Entura has worked on many of Australia’s major dams over the last decade, as well as some iconic international projects.
Maintaining the safety of these important water infrastructure assets is an essential program to which Entura is a key contributor. Our experience in managing risks associated with dam structures is now shared with many clients around the world, including the delivery of training in relation to dam safety and emergency response planning.
The dam safety training program created by Entura provides a structured approach for all dam asset owners/managers to gain the understanding, skills and competencies required for key roles associated with modern dam management practice.
Our proven methodology can be customised to suit specific subject or capability requirements. Dam safety courses can be accredited against Australian qualification standards. Find out more about our accredited courses.
Dam safety overview (1 day) |

Designed for managers or junior surveillance engineers, this course provides an overview of dam safety principles and practice common to all dams and spillways. The course aims to improve understanding of the key elements involved in designing Please contact us for more details. |
Dam Safety Accredited Units of Competency (2 days) |
|
Entura clean energy and water institute train six (6) units under the National Water Package: NWPSS00004 Dam operations. This Skill Set is offered as a combination of classroom-based training and assessment either by Entura clean energy and water institute or by an accredited third party provider via existing arrangements, on-the-job training, and assessment with the employer, RPL assessment, and/or credit transfer. Under the NWP30222 Certificate III in Water Industry Operations we deliver and assess five (5) units of competency:
We also deliver the Unit of Competency: NWPCAD007 Inspect, operate and maintain low consequence dam with some or all of the above units. This unit is part of NWP20122 Certificate II in Water Industry Operations. This training is delivered under the guidelines of the national regulator ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority). These competencies meet the industry standards for dam operations. Participants gaining these units of competency will be able to monitor and maintain water industry related instrumentation; and monitor, control, and maintain dams and associated civil works. These units may provide credit towards a range of qualifications in the National Water Training Package. This skill set applies to those working in water industry operations.
