Our world-wide recognised expertise in hydrogeology and
groundwater development covers six main areas of hydrogeological
work:
- Investigation of groundwater systems, including exploratory
geophysics and drilling, detailed geological, hydrological and
hydrogeological assessments
- Hydrogeological studies as an integral component of modelling
of groundwater systems
- Hydrogeological studies in support of environmental impact and
hydroecological assessments
- Engineering of groundwater abstraction systems
- Hydrogeological characterisation for the investigation,
assessment and design of remediation measures for groundwater
quality issues
- Institutional development and training in the operation,
management and monitoring of groundwater systems
Hydrogeological Section – Lincolnshire
WoldsTo achieve our high standards we employ specialist
geologists, hydrogeologists, geophysicists, groundwater engineers,
hydrologists, chemists, environmentalists, economists and water
supply engineers who work on a large portfolio of groundwater
assignments throughout the world.
Examples of project work
- Hydrogeological studies of the Spilsby Sandstone and Woburn
Sands aquifers
- Conceptual studies in support of over 50 groundwater modelling
projects
- Hydrogeological studies leading to development of the Spey and
Fort William groundwater sources
- Hydrogeological review of all North of Scotland Water Services,
all Yorkshire Water, all Anglian Water, Tendring Hundred,
Folkestone and Dover and Essex and Suffolk groundwater sources
- Hydrogeological/EIA studies in respect of abstraction licence
determinations for both public and private clients
- Development of the UKWIR methodology for the evaluation of
reliable groundwater source yields (the industry standard as
incorporated in published guidelines including Water Resource and
Supply, Agenda for Action produced by the Department of the
Environment, 1996)
- Application of the UKWIR methodology at over 300 sources for
seven water companies
