Geosciences

Overview

We deliver integrated Geosciences solutions that de risk projects and accelerate delivery across mining, energy, infrastructure, and environmental sectors. Our multidisciplinary team combines field investigation, laboratory analysis, advanced modelling, and practical engineering to turn subsurface uncertainty into confident decisions—through every phase from concept to operations and closure.\ Our capability spans Geotechnical, Geophysics, Hydrogeology, Hydrography/Bathymetry, and Geochemistry, enabling end to end coverage of ground conditions, groundwater, geochemical risk, and underwater terrain—backed by systematic workflows and quality management.

What we solve
  • Site characterisation for foundations, slopes, earthworks, tailings, and dams
  • Groundwater exploration, dewatering, and contamination management
  • Subsurface imaging for engineering and exploration (surface, downhole, UAV)
  • Underwater terrain mapping for ports, bridges, dams, and pipelines
  • Geochemical risk, including ARD/AMD screening, kinetics, and mitigation
  • Integrated models and decision grade reporting that stand up to review
