An infiltration (or pumping) test gives an indication of the permeability/infiltration capacity of the soil and explores subsurface conditions beneath the soil or pavement surface.
The infiltration rate correlates to the speed at which water enters into the soil.Several types of test can be used to determine infiltration so we choose the one that is most appropriate to take the measurement. We aim to offer the very best advice taking into account the texture, groundwater level and infiltration.
Concrete information is fundamental for:
- (Re)infiltration of water e.g. groundwater decontamination
- Infiltration of rainwater on site
- Evaluation of flood risk
The first phase consists of working with you in deciding which information is necessary in regards to your needs and how we can offer the best results in a cost effective manner. We’ll then determine which approach would offer the best results in your particular case.
On the basis of a more detailed site investigation, we can refine the chosen approach. We can then implement the selected strategy.
After completing our work, we thoroughly evaluate the results. If necessary we will then perform additional research to either confirm or disprove the results.
