Monitoring
Water quality sampling
Representative samples provide a reliable basis for judging the condition of the groundwater.
Grondwater
Groundwater management for sound soil and sustainable water use
Dirkse Milieutechniek provides groundwater solutions that help businesses understand, treat and manage subsurface water, supporting both project timelines and long-term environmental protection.
Why groundwater matters
Groundwater supplies drinking water, supports ecosystems and influences construction and land use.
01
Resource protection
Careful management prevents contamination from reaching aquifers that communities and industries rely on.
02
Project feasibility
Groundwater levels and quality shape foundation design, excavation methods and drainage requirements.
03
Regulatory compliance
Monitoring data provides the evidence needed to meet permit conditions and reporting obligations.
Our approach
Investigation first, then targeted action
Effective groundwater management begins with an understanding of the subsurface. We look at soil layers, groundwater flow and the substances of concern before recommending any intervention.
Based on these findings, we develop measures that are proportionate to the risk, whether that means monitoring, controlled extraction and treatment, or changes to site operations.
- Assessment of groundwater levels and flow direction
- Sampling and analysis of water quality
- Design of extraction, treatment or monitoring measures
Groundwater services in practice
Our work supports construction projects, industrial sites and environmental improvement programmes.
Construction
Dewatering support
Temporary water control helps keep excavations dry and stable while protecting the surrounding groundwater.
Remediation
Treatment and remediation
Where contamination is present, treatment systems are designed to reduce concentrations to the required level.
Common questions
Practical answers about groundwater projects.
When is a groundwater investigation needed?
An investigation is usually required before excavation, when changing land use, or when there is a suspicion of contamination. Early data helps avoid delays later in the project.
How long does monitoring take?
The duration depends on the purpose of the monitoring, the seasonal variation of the groundwater and the requirements of the permit or project plan.
Can groundwater be reused on site?
In some cases extracted water can be treated and reused, for example for process water or site irrigation, provided that quality and regulatory conditions are met.
