Data-Driven System Characterization to Identify Challenges and Opportunities

RockEng can design and execute hydrogeological field programs to address operational needs and regulatory requirements.

Hydrology Site Characterization

This includes completing and/or evaluating results from the following:

  • Siting and installing monitoring wells
  • Borehole logging for geological, hydrogeological, geochemical and/or geotechnical characterization
  • Groundwater level monitoring via manual (water level tape) and digital (datalogger, vibrating-wire piezometer) methods
  • Groundwater sampling
  • Hydraulic conductivity testing via slug testing, packer testing and pumping tests
  • Infiltration testing
  • Soil and rock sampling to support geological and geochemical characterization
  • Geophysical studies to characterize hydrogeological conditions (e.g., downhole geophysics, resistivity, electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar, etc.)

In addition to RockEng’s field expertise, we also have extensive experience in data management, analysis and presentation. Based on the collected data, we can develop a data-driven conceptual site model that can be refined and adapted as further data is collected. Such a conceptual model typically underpins mine planning efforts, regulatory understanding, and subsequent studies (e.g., groundwater modelling).

At RockEng, we offer a range of hydrology site characterization services performed by highly qualified, skilled professionals that will help you gain insight and understanding regarding your project site. Our team of experts regularly work in challenging conditions and are adept at addressing the logistical challenges that come with remote work. We conduct our field work in accordance with relevant regulations and guidance documents to help ensure its defensibility and consistency. We also apply rigorous quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures to ensure accuracy.

With hydrology site characterization work so foundational to project success, it is essential to make sure the work is completed at a standard that facilitates precise and informed decision-making. Please contact us today for more information about hydrology site characterization.
