A concrete-face rock-fill dam (CFRD) is a rock-fill dam with concrete slabs on its upstream face. This design provides the concrete slab as an impervious wall to prevent leakage and also a structure without concern for uplift pressure. In addition, the CFRD design is flexible for topography, faster to construct and less costly than earth-fill dams.

The dam wall constructed with 1,048 cubic metres (37,000 cu ft) of concrete faced rockfill is 66 metres (217 ft) high and 484 metres (1,588 ft) long. The maximum water depth is 52 metres (171 ft) and at 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 397,370 megalitres (14,033 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft) of water at 449 metres (1,473 ft) AHD .
New Exchequer Dam is a concrete–faced, rock-fill dam on the Merced River in central California in the United States. It forms Lake McClure, which impounds the river for irrigation and hydroelectric power production and has a capacity of more than 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3). The Merced Irrigation District (MID) operates the dam and was ...
The following table lists the largest man-made dams by volume of fill/structure. By general definition, a dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams, hence tailings dams are relegated to a separate list.
The masonry arch dam wall was designed by Lieutenant Percy Simpson who was influenced by the advances in dam engineering techniques made by the Royal Engineers in India. The dam cost £17,000 and was completed in 1856 as the first engineered dam built in Australia, and the second arch dam in the world built to mathematical specifications. [31]
The dam was built by Thiess based on designs developed by the Commonwealth Department of Construction; and is now managed by Icon Water. [3] [4] [5] The dam wall height is 66 metres (217 ft) and is 417 metres (1,368 ft) long. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back 121,083 megalitres (4,276.0 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft) of water at 663 metres (2,175 ft ...
