Environmental

Integrated Geologic, Structural and Geotechnical Understanding

DGI has participated in many projects that are solely environmental/hydrogeologic in nature or as part of feasibility, structural assessment, geotechnical studies or reclamation planning. We work directly with companies and consulting/engineering firms to provide quantitative baseline information under naturally occurring stress, temperature and pressure conditions. This acquired data is combined with information from other aspects of a program (water sampling, packer testing, flow monitoring, failure testing, rock quality designation (RQD), etc) to fully integrate all pertinent information. Whether establishing a baseline, planning/monitoring a potential situation, or tracking a contamination plume, we can help.

Some select example applications:

  • Hydroelectric dam planning
  • Mining – closure planning, monitoring and reclamation
  • Hydrogeologic – water resource protection and planning
  • Environmental – contamination and containment tracking, monitoring, modeling
  • Feasibility – scenario based planning and modeling, safety planning
