Waimea Dam Project

Waimea Dam Project

The Waimea Dam is in the Tasman District approximately 40 km south of Nelson. McMahon Ltd was engaged to carry out the electrical design for the dam control, monitoring, and services, based on a stand-alone extra-low voltage (ELV) direct current power system.

McMahon Ltd’s involvement with the Waimea Dam project demonstrates our capability in designing and implementing complex electrical systems for critical infrastructure. The tailored power solutions and advanced control systems ensure the dam operates safely, efficiently, and reliably under varying conditions, contributing significantly to the region’s infrastructure resilience.
