We have an in-house technical team that can design groundwater control systems and assist and undertake all regulatory requirements relating to UK groundwater abstraction and discharge licences and permits.

We have a vast experience in undertaking Pumping Tests in accordance with the Code of Practice for Pump Testing of Water Wells: BS ISO 14686:2003. We also carry out Packer Tests to BS EN ISO 22282-3, Geophysical and CCTV logging of wells and in-situ testing such as rising and falling head tests, remote monitoring of groundwater level, quality and flow.

We are well resourced with an extensive stock of new and used surface and borehole pumps, generators, electrical control gear and associated equipment such pipework, flowmeters and settlement tank.

We have four depots in the UK: Attleborough, Immingham, St Helens, and Worcester, so can operate and service sites effectively throughout the UK. We have a skilled, competent and experienced site workforce to undertake works to a high standard and within programme.

We provide next day deliveries on well materials and consumables for the site investigation and drilling industry; well liners, filter sands, bentonite, protective covers, and the associated ancillary products are all ex-stock. For the geothermal market, ground source heat loops, bentonite enhance grout mixers are also available.

On Brownfield sites ground water contamination can be an issue and we have mobile treatment licences for groundwater remediation on site to satisfy planning conditions. Our treatment methodologies commonly utilise oil water separation, air stripping of ground water for removal of volatile organic compounds and activated carbon to treat dissolved phase materials. Other more specialised methods of treatment are also available together with abstraction techniques.
