geological site characterization

Site characterization is a generic term that encompasses a wide variety of activities to collect geoscientific data at a site. These activities typically include:

• Drilling
• Sampling (soil, rock, water)
• chemical and physical testing of samples
• Instrumentation of deep boreholes to establish geoscientific properties of sites

The complexity of anticipated site conditions and the acquired site data’s end-use are always considered when designing our site characterization programs. These considerations ensure the appropriate balance between the best value for money and the highest quality and defensible data.
