Contractors for the dam and pipeline
This article and some of its references refer to Joseph Brady as being both designer and contractor for the dam. Contemporaneous newspaper reports (such as
this one from 17 December 1864) suggest that Brady supervised rather than constructed the dam -- and that the contractors were Donovan and Hulse (for the dam) and George Cooper (for the tunnelling --and maybe the pipeline).
Not sure if I'm missing something here?

@
Peter Eedy: I think you are right. It looks to me like Brady was the designer and probably the engineer in charge of the construction, but that the actual work was done by contractors. This article is on my list of about 90 more articles to expand using information from the Queensland Heritage Register over the next few months, so when I get to this one, I will try to get the role of the contractors made clearer.

If you check a map that shows suburb boundaries (eg. street-directory.com.au) they show The Gap suburb boundary roughly follows Waterworks Road, which means that Enoggera Dam is not in The Gap but in the suburb to the west which is coincidently called
Enoggera Reservoir. -

Enoggera Reservoir is one of Brisbane's newer suburbs, and is named after the reservoir (I should know, I have lived at The Gap since the mid 1960s), so the name of the suburb is not really coincidental. It is interesting that Enoggera Reservoir, itself, is still listed as being part of the suburb of The Gap, on the following Department of Environment and Resource Management page
[1] at the official Queensland Government website.
