We provide a wide range of hydrogeological services across St Austell and nearby communities, including:

Borehole Planning, Installation and Testing – Helping you create a reliable, efficient water supply for farm, business or personal use.

We also offer technical support such as data interpretation, groundwater modelling, and independent review of existing information—ideal for troubleshooting or validating previous work.

Unbiased Support for Sites with Questions or a Complicated History

If you have an existing report or recommendation and want a second opinion, we offer independent technical reviews. Our goal is to help you move forward with confidence, using our experience to identify gaps, confirm findings, or provide clearer direction. This can be delivered through a desktop review, consultation or site visit.

We also carry out contaminated groundwater assessments when required. These are most relevant for sites with a history of mining or industrial activity or redevelopment. If contamination is a concern, we provide focused, cost-effective advice based on a clear understanding of what is necessary and what is not.
