Hydrogeological Assessment

Our hydrogeological studies ensure that no unacceptable impacts occur to the groundwater resource.

About the Service

PNJ Engineering Inc. understands the importance and provides full range of hydrogeological services for both routine and complex projects. Hydrogeology studies are routinely conducted as part of development applications. Hydrogeological studies can assist in identifying the relationship between groundwater and natural environmental features. It also assists in the determination of potential constraints to construction.

Hydrogeological studies are also required for the developments proposed with private water supply and sewage disposal services. The hydrogeological studies ensure that no unacceptable impacts occur to the groundwater resource. The hydrogeological studies also assist in understanding that enough good quality potable water is available.
