Water management is a key element in virtually all building and urban regeneration projects. To maximise the potential of our developments in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way, effective water management is vital. Managing potential flood risk has become an increasingly high profile aspect of our work whether in response to South African flooding during the period 2010 -2011 or the terrible impacts of recent global tsunamis.
Our team draws on a range of engineering skills including hydrological analysis, coastal hydraulic modelling, surface runoff calculations and storm and foul drainage design.
We follow a risk-based approach in our investigations to identify all sources, pathways and receptors (source-pathway-receptor approach) within the local and regional environment as per stipulated Best Practise Guidelines by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS).
Our detailed site characterisation methods which include, amongst others, geophysical surveys, borehole drilling and aquifer testing are used to conceptualise the groundwater environment at each site. Numerical groundwater modelling is applied to simulate potential impacts on the local and regional groundwater regimes and, in addition, is also used to simulate the effectiveness of mitigation (remedial) measures.
- Hydrocensus and borehole surveys;
- Geophysical Surveys (electrical resistivity, EM, magnetic etc);
- Borehole drilling and supervision;
- Aquifer testing including packer tests;
- Baseline Investigations / Greenfields;
- Groundwater Impact Assessments;
- Mine dewatering;
- Numerical Groundwater Flow and Transport Models;
- Groundwater Remediation and Mitigation;
- Hydrochemical and geochemical Assessments;
- GIS Mapping;
- Water and salt balances.
Hydropedological surveys aim to characterise dominant surface and sub-surface flowpaths of water through the landscape to wetlands and streams or groundwater. The objective of these guidelines is to standardise hydropedological survey methodology to identify dominant hydrological drivers and responses of landscapes in order to quantify the impact of new development on water resources. This will assist decision makers to understand the hydrological system and thereby make sensible decisions with regards to sustainable water management.
- Identification of dominant hillslopes;
- Conceptualising hillslope hydropedological responses;
- Quantification of hydraulic properties and flowrates;
- Quantification of hydropedological fluxes;
Determining how a proposed development will be serviced by essential engineering infrastructure is an integral component of a project’s feasibility. Geostruct Engineering has extensive experience and expertise in providing clients with this early project input through the preparation of Engineering Services Reports.
Engineering Services Reports detail the findings of site investigations and desktop analysis regarding how the provision of essential services, such as potable water supply, sewerage reticulation, electrical supply and telecommunication services, will be established and outlines potential strategies for the provision of these services to be expanded upon during the detailed design phase of the project.
