BEYOND THE SURFACE.
UNDERSTAND THE WATER.

Groundwater can influence excavation stability, foundation performance, neighbouring properties and long-term water supply. Geopro brings hydrogeological assessment together with practical geotechnical engineering.

01—06

DATA-LED.
ENGINEERING-FOCUSED.

Investigation and monitoring data inform assessments of groundwater conditions, drawdown, settlement and potential effects on surrounding land and structures.

Conceptual illustration only — not a site-specific hydrogeological model.
01 / ASSESSMENT

Groundwater Availability & Abstraction

Water supply potential, bore yield, sustainable abstraction considerations and groundwater availability assessments.

02 / INVESTIGATION

Bore & Groundwater Investigations

Groundwater investigation planning, bore-related assessments, water level observations and field data interpretation.

03 / ANALYSIS

Groundwater Drawdown Assessment

Assess potential drawdown and the effects of pumping, excavation or temporary dewatering on surrounding ground.

04 / RISK

Settlement & Neighbouring Effects

Consider groundwater-related ground movement, differential settlement and risks to adjacent structures and infrastructure.

05 / MONITORING

Piezometers & Monitoring Reports

Groundwater and settlement monitoring programmes, trend evaluation and reporting against project-specific trigger levels.

06 / CONSTRUCTION

Construction Dewatering Support

Groundwater control assessments and engineering input for excavations, retaining works and construction staging.

07 / PERMITS & CONSENTS

Borehole Permit & Consent Support

Advice on whether drilling or groundwater take activities may require regional permissions, and support with borehole permit applications, technical documentation, site details and liaison with the relevant authority.

Permit requirements depend on location, proposed bore use, drilling activity and applicable rules. Approval is determined by the relevant authority.

The required investigation, consent pathway and assessment scope depend on site conditions, project activities and applicable regulatory requirements.
