Sunshine Coast Dam Construction
Designing a functional water storage solution starts with smart groundwork. Ensbey Earthmoving provides dam construction and maintenance services across the Sunshine Coast for residential, farming and acreage properties. We build new dams, restore silted ones and reshape older structures to improve function and flow. Our operators adapt to each site’s slope, access and soil conditions.
We manage excavation, batter shaping, overflow points and sediment control, ensuring long-term stability. For properties using dams for irrigation, livestock or erosion control, we offer complete support from start to finish.
Every job is assessed for drainage, safety and environmental impact before we break ground.
Call Ensbey Earthmoving on (07) 5494 5204 to organise dam construction or repairs on your Sunshine Coast property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to build a dam?
In some cases, yes. Dam construction may require council approval or environmental assessments, especially if it affects waterways, drainage or protected zones. Requirements vary by region and dam size. We always recommend checking with your local council before starting. If needed, we can assess your site and help determine whether formal approvals or planning considerations apply before excavation begins.
Can you clean or restore an existing dam?
Yes, we provide maintenance services like desilting, reshaping and repairing embankments. Over time, sediment builds up and reduces capacity. We remove excess silt, improve water flow and rebuild access points or overflow areas. Whether the dam needs a full cleanout or targeted repairs, we’ll assess the structure and recommend the most effective way to restore performance and extend its life.
How long does dam construction take?
Timeframes depend on site size, soil conditions, weather and whether approvals are needed. Smaller dams on clear, dry blocks may take just a few days. Larger or sloped sites with access challenges can take longer. We aim to schedule efficiently and complete work without unnecessary delays. During quoting, we’ll provide a realistic estimate based on your site and project needs.
