Infrastructure, mining, environmental remediation and urban development projects require information about the occurrence and movement of groundwater. Hydrogeology is the study of groundwater - how it gets into the ground, how it flows through aquifers and how it interacts with the surrounding soil and rock.
Englobe’s skilled team of experts will work to determine whether any potential constraints or challenges to construction or remediation are present, as well as toxicity which can potentially impact both humans and wildlife. We can also help you address groundwater related constraints by developing practical and sustainable solutions.
Our hydrogeology studies complement geotechnical, environmental, infrastructure, and mining services.

The first step is always fact-finding. Our team can ensure you have all the information you need to make the right decisions for your project.
Our experienced team can oversee all hydrogeological drilling and the necessary management steps it entails. These include interpreting borehole geophysics to delineate aquifers, geological logging of drill cuttings and core samples, installing and monitoring down-hole instrumentation, onsite testing, long- and short-term hydraulic pumping tests, and field percolation testing.

Our team will accompany you through every phase of the complex permitting process.
With our team’s experience, you will be supported every step of the way – from gathering data and preparing your permit application to communicating with the permitting agency. We are here to ensure the process goes smoothly. We can facilitate obtaining permits to extract water as well as certificates of approval for water, waste, air, and noise emissions, dewatering and Fisheries Act authorizations, federal and provincial species at risk/endangered species permitting, etc.

Our hydrogeology team is skilled in replicating the groundwater environment using the most powerful and sophisticated software to predict the potential variabilities in water quality, groundwater flow, contaminant movement, and surface water / groundwater interactions by incorporating natural uncertainty considerations. Our modelling services include the simulation or replication of groundwater environment involving the aquifer characterization, construction and mine dewatering, groundwater and surface water interactions, as well as remedial strategies.
Other studies include geochemical source term and reactive transport studies, design of sampling and monitoring networks, and development of environmental decommissioning strategies.

Sustainable development is a core value at Englobe. Let our experts guide you along the way.
Our team of knowledgeable toxicologists, biologists, engineers, geologists and chemists offers original solutions and innovative alternatives to traditional management methods for contaminated environments. We’ll work closely with you to create expert, tailored studies covering all potential risks to human health and the environment. These include evaluations and sampling for dangerous chemicals, radiation and pathogens in air, water, soil, sediments and living organisms.
Once these have been identified, our team can support you throughout the remediation process, build environmental models, and create custom training programs for your project team. Our team can also alleviate the stress of managing asbestos contamination on your site. Our thorough process – which ranges from site investigation and risk assessment to solution implementation – will help you appropriately manage the risks posed by the presence of asbestos in soil.
