Dam Builds – Runoff Water Storage Whangarei & Northland
Reliable, On-Site Water Storage for Farms and Lifestyle Blocks
We design and build small to medium-scale dams for runoff capture and farm water storage. Whether you need extra supply for stock, firefighting, irrigation, or just more water security, a well-built dam is a smart long-term investment.
Every block is different. That’s why we tailor each dam to suit the slope, catchment, and how you plan to use the stored water. We assess the lay of the land, soil structure, and flow patterns before breaking ground. Our builds are shaped for maximum catchment and stability, with solid compaction and correctly designed overflow systems to prevent blowouts or erosion.
We also offer smaller dam builds for lifestyle blocks, including wetland-style storage for wildlife or passive water retention.
We build a range of water storage solutions suited to rural use:
Runoff Capture Dams – Earth dams for storing rainwater from hillsides, paddocks, and races
Stock Water Storage – Reliable on-farm supply for troughs and reticulation systems
Firefighting Water Sources – Accessible, stable dams with vehicle access for pump setup
Irrigation Supply – Dams connected to pump and pipe systems for gardens, crops, or pasture
Wetland or Wildlife Dams – Designed for habitat, passive soakage, or landscape value
Spillway & Overflow Construction – Safe outlets to manage stormwater and prevent overtopping
Access Tracks & Jetty Pads – Shaped surrounds for safe access, pipework, or jetty installation
Maintenance & Repair – Re-shaping, compacting, or restoring existing dam structures
We can also assist with basic council compliance steps, such as earthworks guidance or referrals for engineering input if required.
