Geology

 

Westward’s Geology group offers a wide array of services to assess subsurface conditions anywhere in the U.S. Understanding the geology of the terrain is fundamental for success, and our strong geologic background in surface mining brings a wealth of experience to any project.  

We also offer geologic and karst assessments, overburden and stripping plans, Phase I & Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA), gradational testing, aquifer studies, due diligence and expert testimony. 

Our geologists can provide a regular geological mapping schedule, as well as audit your current geological, sampling, and reconciliation processes to ensure they are efficient and meet best practice standards.

Groundwater Services

 As the population grows, more demand is being placed on our natural underground water systems. Westward geologists can assess aquifer conditions, regulations, and permitting requirements.  

Every operation has a water consideration, so our team provides a wide range of groundwater services, including:
