We install monitoring wells in dikes, brownfield sites and other locations to capture data on groundwater and potential contamination.
Our understanding of fluvial geomorphology, the interactions between streams and soil, is fundamental to our river projects.
We use computer modeling tools such as AERMOD to integrate source pollutant emission rates, meteorological data, and terrain data and estimate pollutant concentrations at downwind receptor locations.
Our environmental investigations are the foundation for much of our remediation work, and the first step toward cleaning up contaminated soil.
Earth Sciences
Engineering Geology
Our engineering geologists focus on evaluating soil, rock and groundwater conditions and any natural geologic processes that could affect infrastructure. This can include reviewing historical data, geologic reconnaissance, geologic mapping, subsurface explorations, geophysical investigations and remote sensing. By identifying geohazards such as unstable slopes, seismic risks, erosion, karst-related sinkholes and other types of ground subsidence, our engineering geologists improve the quality and sustainability of our project by recommending designs aimed at mitigating these risks.
