The key to a successful aggregate mining operation is a sound understanding of the geology at the site.  Westward Environmental has over 15 years of aggregate and industrial mineral exploration experience.  Along the way, we have also encountered projects that required geophysical exploration for subsurface tanks, pipelines, caves, etc.  If you are interested in exploring your property, or even a prospective property, let us know and we will begin the initial analysis phase to help you determine your property's mining potential. 

Some of the practices we employ to assist our mining exploration efforts include:

• GIS analysis of geology, material markets, and material transport feasibility
• Professional Exploration Geologist site reconnaissance
• Bore hole drilling
• Utilization of Geotechnical Expertise to conduct Electrical Resistivity Imaging Surveys
• Aggregate Reserves Analysis
• Karst Surveys
• Geologic Assessments
• Groundwater and Hydrologic Studies
