Dam Desilting in Pittsworth, QLD
Pittsworth's dark cracking clay is prime cropping country, and that same soil washes into dams year after year. We desilt dams right across the Pittsworth district, from small stock dams on grazing blocks to bigger storages on the grain country. The job is simple when it's done properly: drain it down, dig the silt clear, reshape the bank and restore the capacity you paid for. We time it for the dry stretch so you're back to full water before the season turns. Run from our Oakey base, Pittsworth is a short trip down the road for us.
How the job runs.
- Capacity check and silt-depth assessment before we quote
- Excavator silt removal, hauled well clear of the dam wall
- Bank and spillway reshaping where they've slumped
- Spoil spread to your contour banks or stockpiled for reuse

Dam Desilting in Pittsworth.
On this cropping country, every ten to fifteen years for most dams. Heavily cultivated catchments silt up faster, so it can be sooner.
Yes. Silt reduces both depth and volume, so clearing it back restores the storage and helps the dam carry you through a dry run.
We place it where it's useful, on a contour bank, a low spot or a stockpile. Carting off-site costs more and usually isn't needed.
