Our History

A short story about us

Our journey began in 2023 when, after 15 years of experience, our founder, Lyndon Johnson, set out to offer his insights across asset owner, manager, and consulting roles to the wider market. With a focus on practical solutions and improving industry practices, Dam Safety Consulting quickly found its feet, offering dam safety analysis, geotechnical modelling, and expert review. Leveraging a strong professional network and established industry relationships, we delivered high-quality, independent advice from day one.

Despite never intending to grow, in 2024 Dam Safety Consulting welcomed an engineering intern through a partnership with RMIT University to promote careers in dam engineering. Since then Dam Safety Consulting has engaged with a range of modellers, graduate and engineers around Australia and the world, building scale and the ability to perform comprehensive analysis on a wider range of dams than our full time staff could complete alone.

At the time of writing, Dam Safety Consulting has worked with a range of clients across Australia, including Hydro Tasmania, Snowy Hydro, SunWater, SeqWater, and the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy and Water. Despite being a small team, we maintain strong relationships with other high-quality businesses like HARC, Pitt & Sherry, ATC Williams, and Aurecon. We’re proud of the work we’ve accomplished and excited for what the future holds.
