Groundwater Assessment & Monitoring
Groundwater assessment and monitoring provide essential data for construction projects, environmental management, and infrastructure development.
Atlas Engineering and Technology Group specialises in total groundwater management, providing the hydrogeological knowledge base essential for successful project implementation.
Groundwater Assessment Importance
Groundwater conditions can greatly affect construction projects and existing structures in various ways:
- Basement construction may encounter groundwater, requiring specialized design and waterproofing
- Groundwater uplift pressure can damage foundations and floor slabs
- Fluctuating water tables can affect soil stability and bearing capacity
- Contaminated groundwater may pose environmental and health risks
- Dewatering activities during construction require proper planning and monitoring
