Arnold Dam Upgrade #15518 Project Overview Taurus Engineering was engaged to fabricate and install a new 73-metre walkway and associated rail beam assembly across the Arnold Dam weir. Our Approach The walkway and rail beam assembly were precision-fabricated from carbon steel at Taurus’s workshop. The completed steelwork was then hot-dip galvanised or thermal zinc sprayed to provide long-term corrosion protection. A full trial assembly was carried out in our workshop before delivery, allowing potential issues to be identified and resolved ahead of site installation. Working alongside Downer, Taurus developed practical solutions to overcome challenging site access and ensure precise alignment across all six dam piers. Project Outcome The project was delivered in two installation phases, with the initial section between Piers 1 and 3 completed first, followed by the remaining installation. The project demonstrated Taurus’s capability in precision steel fabrication, complex site installation and collaborative problem-solving within challenging hydro infrastructure environments.
