Paradise Dam, operated by Sunwater, stands as a vital component of Queensland's water infrastructure, serving multiple purposes including irrigation, flood mitigation, and water supply. Ensuring the structural integrity and safety of such dams is paramount, and Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) inspection plays a crucial role in this endeavor. Through the utilisation of ROVs equipped with advanced sensors and imaging technology, AUS-ROV conducts comprehensive inspections of structural components of dams, providing valuable insights into their condition and integrity. Despite these efforts, recent assessments have raised concerns regarding the long-term viability of Paradise Dam, prompting the decision to explore alternatives, including the construction of a new dam immediately downstream of the current structure. This decision underscores the Queensland Governments commitment to maintaining water security and safety for surrounding communities while navigating the challenges posed by aging infrastructure and evolving environmental factors.
