Borehole-based Investigation Specialists GeoScience has worked for the UK radioactive waste disposal agency Nirex on deep site investigations at Dounreay, Scotland and Sellafield in NW England since 1989. Initially appointed as Technical Specialists to the surface-based data acquisition programme, staff were responsible for the design, specification, realisation and site supervision of the deep boreholes, the hydrochemical and hydrogeological testing, the wireline geophysical logging, core logging, presentation and reporting of data. Since 1993 staff have supported Nirex in the interpretation of a wide range of data and were appointed to a number of steering groups and advisory committees. GeoScience also led a joint venture to win the Science Design contract in the proposed Rock Characterisation Facility planned for Sellafield. The Joint Venture undertook the science design element of the contract before plans to construct the RCF were shelved. |

In addition to its work for Nirex, GeoScience has undertaken work for radioactive waste disposal agencies in Switzerland, Sweden and Canada, and continued its interests in the characterisation of fractured rock masses for geothermal applications. GeoScience can provide you with a range of services with the underlying theme of integrating drilling, testing and evaluation as part of a team, applying the best techniques to solve or manage real problems. The wide and unique experience of our staff means that we are able to offer services to your current or planned Deep Geological Investigations and radioactive waste disposal projects, with inputs tailored to the specific needs of the programme. |
