Tallowa Dam Project – 1974: Overcoming Engineering Challenges
Scaffolding Experience
In 1974, Australian Scaffold embarked on a significant project at Tallowa Dam, part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme. This ambitious hydroelectric project, developed by the Snowy Hydro Authority and constructed by Civil & Civic (now part of Lendlease), aimed to harness water for electricity and irrigation .Wikipedia
The steep incline of the spillway posed a significant challenge for access. While other contractors struggled to find a safe solution, our founders, Neil and George Butlin, developed an innovative approach.
They floated a barge to the top of the dam wall. A lightweight aluminium scaffold was then lowered onto two steel rail tracks. This system, powered by a diesel generator and operated via an electric winch, allowed the scaffold to move vertically, providing safe access to the spillway .
This solution not only met the immediate needs of the project but also established a lasting partnership with Snowy Hydro and Lendlease. These organizations remain valued clients to this day. With our four generations of scaffolding experience, our commitment to safety, innovation, and reliability ensures that we remain a trusted partner in the construction industry.
