As a resident and someone who's informed on the dams issues I can confirm that everything he's said is entirely correct. They cheaped out with low quality and poor binding concrete that was inadequately compacted and not given time to set properly so after being hit by floods it wasn't designed to withstand sooner than expected it began forming internally stress factures throughout. In total cheaping out has cost more than 20 fold the initial cost.

Im in Adelaide, and two of my housemates are totally unqualified Argentinians on a study visa. They do not do any real study, they work 70 hours a week in a steel manufacturing plant on $30 an hour, with only 20 of those hours declared to the government and the tax man. This is the problem. Government says it needs skilled labour, but it imports lower quality unskilled posing as skilled. Dodgy firms employ these ijits and well.. the Paradise dam, and many other building industry failures, are the result. What does the government do about it ? There are no policing mechanisms in place to locate, deport, or punish, let alone fine the industries using these unlawful migrant workers. Like I said.. I live with two of them.

[@BrettMoore66]

Just to show they are unskilled.. neither qualified for the accelerated apprenticeship program as neither has any history of completing any sort of trade. They confess openly that they are self taught only and did a few modules from some institution that no longer exists.

They weren't engineering mistackes. Most rip-offs that happen when building buildings that use concrete are the substitution of low-grade concrete for what was specified in the contract. There is a lot of money to be made by using cheaper concrete. This was corruption, plain and simple.

[@_PatrickO]

Same thing was happening in texas with pools. Companies installing pools pretended it was not their job to understand concrete. They used cheaper concrete that was not designed for pools. The owners filed bankruptcy to avoid replacing the pools so they could pocket what they had paid themselves when scamming customers. It left home owners with hundreds in thousands in damages to remove and replace the pools.

One correction. Dams are not typically designed to last for centuries. On the contrary, a 50 to 75-year design is probably the most common. We just expected them to be built to a higher standard.

[@Alan_Hans__]

Bundaberg is in an area that has an average rainfall of around 1m a year. The average across all of Australia is 400mm. Bundaberg is also in a cyclone prone area and instead of 1m of rain in a year it may get as much as 250mm in a single day. This isn't a once in a 200 year event or once in 5000 years. That sort of rainfall is more like a once in a 10 year event.

[@testedtrue7693]

Marvellous how "Clever", man is (sic), when it comes to interfering with nature. Like building on flood plains, then wondering why they get flooded?

Like the introduction of rabbits to Australia, or the grey squirrel to Great Britain, or the cane toad to India to control those critters which attacked the rice crops, but turned out they just ate whatever they could fit into their mouths, irrispective of whether it was friend or foe. I could go on, but, generally problems are caused because of man's own short sightedness and by taking short cuts that Nature never did. Great show as ever.

I'd agree with you except, from what i have heard they were emptying it during the flood event which unfortunately led to higher levels downstream(that caused possible deaths). But they had to empty it to stop a catastrophe if it failed. It was an unfortunate and neccessary event that probably saved more lives though.
