Geo-Environmental investigations for developments which have a distinct effect on the natural environment.
Development examples
Include; Filling Stations, Landfill Sites, Tailings Facilities, Cemeteries, Effluent Dams, Golf Courses, Sanitation Facilities
Hydrogeological investigations entail the identification, assessment/testing and modelling of water sources.
Geo-Environmental investigations are undertaken in order to support the EIA process.
Typical Investigative Procedures:
Investigative methods include conducting a hydro-census, desktop studies, contaminant transport rate assessments, ground- and surface water modelling and chemical testing of receptacles.
Hydrogeological investigations are undertaken over a number of phases including the identification of drilling targets through desktop studies, field mapping and geophysical surveys. Targets are then drilled followed by yield testing and water sampling.
