Cordeaux Dam, Heritage-listed dam in New South Wales, Australia
The Cordeaux Dam features a curved arch wall measuring 58 meters in height and 709 meters in length, containing massive stone gateways at its entrance.
Construction of the dam started in 1918 and finished in 1926, using sandstone blocks from local quarries to create part of the Upper Nepean water supply system.
The dam incorporates Egyptian architectural elements in its design, with stone pylons and valve houses reflecting the era when Australian soldiers served in Egypt.
Visitors can access the site daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, with extended hours until 7 PM during weekends and public holidays in daylight saving time.
The structure includes inspection galleries for groundwater pressure monitoring and contraction joints, representing engineering improvements over previous dam constructions.
