Services
Groundwater Supply
We specialise in groundwater exploration and resource assessment for municipal, mining, and agricultural applications. Our services include aquifer evaluation, borefield development, and licensing compliance. Utilising advanced geophysical surveys and numerical modelling, we ensure sustainable extraction while maintaining regulatory standards. This service addresses Australia's increasing water demands through responsible groundwater management.
Dewatering Systems
Our dewatering solutions optimise operational efficiency in mining and construction projects. We design systems for groundwater control using hydraulic property assessments and test-pumping programs. Services include bore construction, aquifer testing, and predictive modelling for pit stability. This ensures safe working conditions while minimising environmental impact through regulated water management.
Geothermal Energy
We lead geothermal energy projects for heating applications and electricity generation. Our expertise covers deep bore construction, reservoir characterisation, and system maintenance. With 25+ geothermal bores completed in Western Australia, we deliver carbon-offset solutions for commercial and industrial clients. Our work supports Australia's transition to renewable energy through subsurface heat utilisation.
Environmental Compliance
Our environmental scientists ensure projects meet legislative requirements through monitoring and reporting programs. Services include ecosystem assessments, contamination studies, and compliance documentation. We specialise in groundwater-dependent ecosystem protection and mine closure planning. This maintains ecological balance while facilitating project approvals and ongoing regulatory adherence.
Managed Aquifer Recharge
We implement MAR systems to enhance water security through controlled aquifer recharge. Our solutions include infiltration basin design and injection bore technology. Addressing climate challenges, this service stores excess surface water for future use while preventing aquifer depletion. We've successfully delivered schemes for stormwater and wastewater reuse across multiple regions.
