Overseas Tenders Sought For Snowy Dam And Tunnel Project
The plan calls for a straight concrete gravity dam about 180 feet high and 170 feet crest length on the Murrumbidgee River at Tantangara to store water for diversion through the Murrumbidgee Eucumbene tunnel. Tenderers must start early next year and finish the dam in 1959, with tunnel completion by 1960. Between dam completion and tunnel work, Tantangara reservoir will hold water to provide at least 2,000,000 acre feet for diversion when the pre complex closes on February 3 1958, alongside other major projects on the Tumut and Tooma rivers.
