Development Hydrogeology
Burnside has decades of experience in providing a full suite of hydrogeological services to assess land development impacts on local water resources, including aquifers, watercourses and wetlands.
Capabilities and Expertise
Our team works frequently with multi-disciplinary engineering and environmental teams to ensure groundwater constraints for development are identified, along with appropriate mitigation measures and monitoring programs. Our land development project support services range from large scale secondary plan / subwatershed study level studies, through block plan / master environmental servicing plans, subsequent study levels, and detailed design.
