Geology & Hydrogeology

Blackstone’s knowledgeable and detail-oriented team has extensive experience completing geological and hydrogeological studies for a wide range of projects, from landfill expansion to quarry reserve studies to groundwater modeling. Our staff’s thorough understanding of geological and hydrogeological processes, coupled with a deep bench of field experience, results in practical and technically sound solutions.

Understanding geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics are key to site design and assessment, and Blackstone’s team has designed and installed numerous boring and monitoring well programs; collected soil and groundwater samples for geologic, hydrogeologic, and contaminant evaluation; and interfaced with regulators throughout the Midwest.
