Water resources development

Ensuring the protection of our precious groundwater resources has never been more critical, particularly as we plan for the needs of future generations.

Groundwater is a crucial component of many environmental and engineering projects, requiring comprehensive expertise and careful management. At Eadro Geotechnics Limited, our hydrogeologist and groundwater specialist team offers a wide range of groundwater consulting services to meet diverse project needs. Our services are designed to ensure the sustainable and effective management of groundwater resources, providing support from initial assessments to ongoing monitoring and management.

Our dedicated Groundwater team stands ready to support clients’ projects by providing expert assistance in the development, control, and safeguarding of groundwater resources. We recognise the significance of understanding potential constraints and risks, and we work diligently to inform strategies that minimise adverse outcomes, all within the bounds of a rigorous planning and approval framework.

Led by highly qualified hydrogeological experts, our team offers a comprehensive suite of services and support spanning various industries. Often collaborating with geotechnical and contamination investigations, our integrated approach ensures a holistic perspective.

Our services encompass:

  • Groundwater well installation: This involves drilling and constructing wells to access groundwater for various purposes, including water supply and monitoring.
  • Water quality and level monitoring: Regular monitoring of groundwater quality and levels helps track changes over time, ensuring the sustainability and safety of groundwater resources.
  • Assessment of groundwater contamination: This service identifies and evaluates the presence of contaminants in groundwater, determining their sources and potential impacts on health and the environment.
  • Assessment and groundwater management strategies: Developing comprehensive strategies to manage groundwater resources effectively, including usage, recharge, and protection measures.
  • Bore decommissioning and grouting: Properly closing unused or abandoned boreholes to prevent contamination and maintain groundwater integrity through sealing techniques like grouting.
  • Numerical modelling: Using mathematical models to simulate groundwater flow and transport processes, aiding in the prediction and management of groundwater systems.

Comprehensive Hydrogeology Services

Our hydrogeology services encompass a broad spectrum of activities, from initial site investigations to detailed impact assessments and regulatory approvals. We provide expert advice on groundwater well installation, contamination assessment, and remediation strategies. Our integrated approach, combining hydrogeological expertise with geotechnical and environmental engineering, ensures that our clients receive holistic and practical solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Groundwater Investigations

Understanding regional or local groundwater systems is a fundamental requirement for virtually any development, making groundwater investigations a crucial aspect of the planning process. The insights gained through these investigations are invaluable, guiding informed decision-making and ensuring successful project outcomes.

We emphasise the significance of this understanding and bring extensive experience in conducting groundwater investigations. The reasons for conducting such investigations are diverse, and the methodologies and techniques used are equally varied. Our expertise in this field allows us to deliver comprehensive insights, ensuring that projects are well-informed, environmentally responsible, and sustainable.

Impact Assessment & Approvals

We recognise that safeguarding groundwater resources requires a comprehensive assessment of development impacts on existing systems. Our expertise ensures meticulous management for sustainable utilisation, preserving and protecting these invaluable resources.

For most development and groundwater utilisation projects seeking regulatory approvals, an Assessment of Impact is a prerequisite. Drawing on our vast experience, we are well-equipped to in undertake comprehensive Impact Assessments, providing informed solutions that address the complexities of groundwater utilisation and ensure responsible and sustainable practices.

Dewatering & Groundwater Control

Our team comprises highly experienced Hydrogeologists and Groundwater Engineers armed with cutting-edge technology and software, empowering us to offer unparalleled assistance to clients seeking data interpretation, modelling, assessments, and expert advice from our dewatering contractors and groundwater control professionals.

With our advanced resources and in-depth expertise, we deliver compelling solutions that ensure efficient and sustainable management of groundwater challenges.

Groundwater Contamination

Groundwater contamination can stem from various sources, such as landfill sites containing sanitary and hazardous wastes, petroleum leaks and spills, septic and chemical storage tanks, tailings dams, radioactive waste, and the use of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers in agriculture.
Prevention, detection, and control measures play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of this invaluable resource. We are committed to providing comprehensive solutions that mitigate risks, promote responsible practices, and safeguard our groundwater for generations to come.
