Albert River 604 dam site seismic refraction survey, Queensland 1959

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The results are given of a seismic refraction survey undertaken in response to an application from the Irrigation and Water Supply Commission of Queensland for a geophysical investigation of the Albert River 60.4M dam site near Beaudesert. The seismic results indicate that the depth to bedrock ranges from 9 to 234 ft. Test drilling is recommended to supplement and give control of the seismic data in two areas. The value of Young's modulus for the bedrock is determined from an empirical relation
