Environmental Surveys
Environmental surveys allow the assessment of a
wide range of activities which may impact on the
landscape. These impacts include pollution,
contamination and other human impacts within a
variety of terrains from peatland, to farmland to
urban areas. Through a wide range of techniques and
methodologies we can assist in environmental
assessment and monitoring for example where a
product spillage has occurred or in the development
of water management schemes.

Our experience enables us to deploy a range of
geophysical techniques which allow assessment of
the sub-soil, sediments and bedrock, important when
assessing the nature and effect of a product
spillage. Assessment of the bedrock and overlying
sediments can also enable the targeting of augered
and cored boreholes and the design of a network of
relief wells.
Continuous depth information can be obtained
enabling the mapping of potential pollution
pathways or an irregular bedrock surface. This is
achieved using Electrical Resistivity Tomography
(ERT) which provides a continuous resistivity
section to depths of up to 20m.

Survey requirements
If you would like to contact us to discuss your
requirements so that we can develop a project plan
and quotation, it would be useful to have the
following information:
- Purpose of survey
- Background geological information
- Size of the proposed survey area
- Approximate depth to be investigated
- Ground conditions
