An understanding of groundwater conditions can be a vital part of many different types of project, and is often a regulatory requirement, necessary for foundation design, earthworks, pipelines, basement design, contamination risk assessment, effluent or surface water discharge, or private water supply.
In common with many aspects of site investigation, a staged or phased approach may be needed.
Southern Testing provide a full ground investigation and site assessment service, from initial desk study through to intrusive site investigation, installation of monitoring instruments, monitoring, sampling, in-situ and laboratory permeability testing, and factual or interpretative reporting.
Groundwater conditions are routinely assessed in all geotechnical and geoenvironmental ground investigations, and our teams are experienced in detailed hydrogeological assessments to support contaminated land site investigation and remediation design, environmental permitting applications, basement impact assessments, and environmental impact assessment.
