Overview
Coupled with first hand industry and construction knowledge, Environmental Services offers unsurpassed expertise in surface and groundwater management. We can provide assistance in project design and management, risk management and auditing, monitoring and assessment of natural assets.
Groundwater Management
Industry leaders in groundwater management; Environmental Services have the experience to manage a broad range of groundwater issues.
Hydrology Investigations
An essential first step in groundwater management is the gathering of baseline data. A carefully considered sampling and analysis plan can provide the information needed to manage all your water issues efficiently and cost effectively.
Dewatering Management Plans
A vital part of the regulatory approval process; we can assist you not only with dewatering management plans but also management strategies to move your project along.
Groundwater Treatment
Ongoing research and development into groundwater treatment and disposal allows Environmental Services to pass onto clients the latest innovations.
Monitoring
We can meet all your monitoring requirements from pump discharge, groundwater and surface water quality to macro-invertebrate surveys of aquatic systems.
Surface Water Management
Catchment, sub-catchment and stream flow determination are important considerations in the development of surface water management structures.
Nutrient and Irrigation Management Plans
Water allocation is often conditional upon undertaking a NIMP and routine water monitoring.
Groundwater Management
Environmental Services work closely with Mobile Dewatering, local councils and government agencies to determine the most suitable solution for your groundwater management issues.
A range of monitoring and control technologies can be called upon to carefully manage groundwater and potential impacts on groundwater from a wide range of activities.
Complexity of management requirements vary widely across sites depending on soil stratigraphy, climate, nature and duration of disturbance.
Hydrology Investigations
- Baseline monitoring
- Well field design and supervision of construction
- Determination of groundwater flow direction and rates
- Calculation of dewatering pumping rates
- Estimation of draw down effects and potential impacts on in-situ soils
- Stream and catchment flow
- Identification of potential effects on public health and the environment
- Identification of contamination
Dewatering Management Plans
- Determination of suitable treatment and disposal options
- Acquisition of appropriate licences and permits
- Design of sampling and analysis programs
- Contingency plans for unexpected events
Groundwater Treatment
Regulations on waste water discharge quality are increasingly becoming more stringent. In consultation with a range of Government agencies, Environmental Services has developed and adopted progressive, new, innovative water treatment systems to achieve high standards. Environmental Services will assess your individual situation and devise a solution that provides a balance between allocated budgets and water quality requirements.
Systems include: Infiltration; settlement; Metal Recovery Modules (MRM); pH amendment; filtration units and silt curtains. Coupled with regular monitoring to ensure efficient operation.
Monitoring
- Schedules are devised to meet licence requirements, maintain quality and prevent adverse impacts on surrounding environment
- Monitoring is conducted on groundwater well depth and water quality, discharge volume and quality
- All monitoring is conducted by a suitably qualified person
- All equipment is calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
- Laboratories samples are analysed by NATA certified laboratory
Surface Water Management
Appropriate urban stormwater management is an important consideration in any development. Environmental services can assist in the development and construction of surface water management structures.
NIMP
Water regulators typically require a NIMP to be undertaken before water allocation will be issued and is usually linked to monitoring performance.
