Hydrogeological Consultation
The Hydrogeological Department of Soil Engineers Ltd. conducts studies for groundwater characterization, including: interpretation and mapping of the site’s water table flow patterns, monitoring of the site’s prevailing groundwater table from observation well measurements, and characterizing a site’s surface water and groundwater interactions.

A baseline hydrogeological assessment is one of our hydrogeological studies, which cover areas that utilize existing water wells for domestic usage that may be affected by the surrounding construction.

We perform Hydrogeological Assessment Studies in support of development application approvals and public infrastructure planning.

Our experienced team of hydrogeologists and engineers provide hydrogeological consultation services, which include:
  • Baseline Well Canvassing Hydrogeological Studies,
  • In-situ Infiltration Testing in support of Low Impact Development (LID) Infrastructure Design,
  • Hydrogeological Studies for Subdivisions and Multi-storey Buildings,
  • Well Decommissioning, 
  • Pre-development and Post-development Water Balance Assessments,
  • Services for privately-serviced housing lots based on septic systems and private wells,
  • Construction dewatering needs assessment, and
  • Long-term foundation drainage needs assessment (i.e. basements and underground parking structures).
