CPB Contractors, a member of the CIMIC Group, has been selected by Sunwater with Georgiou, to be the major construction partner for a dam wall replacement project in Queensland.

This infrastructure project, located downstream of Paradise Dam on the Burnett River near Bundaberg, will provide the region with a long-term water security and storage solution.

CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: “We have extensive experience delivering essential infrastructure in regional Australia, and we’re pleased to support this next stage of works that benefits Queensland communities.

“CPB Contractors has delivered more than 150 water, dam and reservoir projects across Australia.”

CPB Contractors Managing Director Jason Spears said: “Having successfully delivered the Paradise Dam Essential Works, our expert teams understand the complexities of this critical regional project and we’re looking forward to expanding our local team.

“This important project is an opportunity for CPB Contractors, as part of the Alliance, to work with our local delivery partners so that we’re building a skills legacy that meets future demand.”

CPB Contractors’ world-class technical expertise combined with decades of dam design and construction experience will ensure the project’s objectives and stringent safety criteria are achieved.
