Engineering Geological Services

  • Regional engineering geological mapping for strategic planning purposes.
  • Detailed engineering geological investigations for township proclamation purposes, according to the standards of the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC).
  • Classification of individual plots of land with regard to site classification system of  the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC).
  • Detailed engineering geological investigations for small- to medium-sized civil engineering projects (for example: schools, clinics, service stations and shopping    malls).
  • Engineering geological investigations for the recommendation of suitable design and construction methods for the development of service stations and buried fuel tanks.
  • Specialized site specific engineering geological investigations with regard to the identification and evaluation of new and existing cemeteries and solid waste disposal sites.
  • Dolomite stability investigations, sinkhole investigations, and instability risk assessments.
  • Data analyses and management by means of a Geographical Data Analyses System  (GEODAS/GIS).

Contaminant Transport Modelling

  • Modeling the fate of contaminants in the subsurface.
    • Simulation of advective and reactive contaminant transport.
    • Development of futuristic scenario's.
    • Determining groundwater protection zones.
    • Simulation of contaminant movement through the unsaturated zone (mine dumps).                                                

Groundwater Pollution and Remediation

  • Siting of waste sites and tailings dams.
    • Recommendations on the installation of piezometers and monitoring boreholes.
    • Recommendations on remediation strategies.
    • Determinations of capture zones.
    • Recommendations on groundwater pollution monitoring and control.

Groundwater Management and Risk Assessment

  • Optimizations of mine dewatering structures·and groundwater supply systems.
  • Development of groundwater monitoring networks and databases.
  • Stochastic modeling for risk analysis.
  • Risk-cost analysis for groundwater management in water supply, remediation and planned new facilities such as lining barriers for mine tailings dams.
