Technical Reviews
Independent review of hydrogeological and environmental reports and evidence — checking the conceptual model, data and conclusions before you rely on them.
H2Ogeo Ltd provides independent technical reviews of hydrogeological and environmental reports, investigations and supporting evidence. Reviews may be required to inform a planning decision, respond to regulator or third-party comments, assess work prepared by another consultant or provide clients with greater confidence before committing to a particular design or strategy.
Our approach
Each review is focused on the relevant technical questions and the decisions that need to be made. H2Ogeo considers whether the available evidence is appropriate, whether the conceptual site model is sound and whether the conclusions are supported by the underlying data. We identify important omissions, inconsistencies, unsupported assumptions and areas where further investigation or clarification may be necessary.
Technical reviews can cover groundwater assessments, borehole investigations, groundwater monitoring, infiltration testing, drainage proposals, contaminated land reports, environmental permit applications and potential effects on groundwater-dependent habitats. Advice may be provided as a concise technical note, detailed review report, schedule of comments or response to a Local Planning Authority, Environment Agency consultation or other stakeholder.
H2Ogeo’s reviews are clear, constructive and proportionate. Technical issues are explained in plain language, with practical recommendations that allow clients and project teams to understand their significance and agree the most effective next steps. This can help resolve disagreements, avoid unnecessary additional work and reduce the risk of technical matters delaying planning, permitting or construction.
