Expert groundwater insights to support risk, remediation, and resource management

Senversa specialises in Contaminant Hydrogeology, a blend of classic hydrogeology, chemistry and microbiology. Our experience covers small to large scale sites, simple to complex hydrogeological environments, and various contaminant types, including PFAS, heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, wastewater treatment plants and landfills.

Our skill set includes hydrogeological assessments, aquifer testing and analysis, conceptual hydrogeological models, flow and transport modelling, ex and in situ groundwater remediation (including horizontal remediation wells), groundwater resource assessment and licensing, and isotopic, dating and tracer hydrogeology. We also provide high level review of contaminant hydrogeology related issues for Senversa’s Contaminated Land Auditors.
