OGI Services

Groundwater control design and management focus on planning, implementing, and operating systems that regulate groundwater levels and flows to protect structures, infrastructure, and the surrounding environment.

OGI provides temporary works surface water management support from concept drainage strategies through to construction-phase implementation. We begin by characterising the site catchment, the receiving environment, and the relevant regulatory framework.

OGI delivers the design, management and analysis of pumping test programmes that generate the quantitative hydrogeological data needed to underpin a robust groundwater control strategy.

OGI works alongside all relevant UK regulatory bodies on obtaining necessary abstraction licences and discharge permits to ensure compliance and protection of the surrounding environment.

OGI uses in-house and commercial computer modelling packages to analyse and simulate a large range of groundwater or geotechnical problems encountered in the construction industry.

OGI offers combined geotechnical and groundwater control design solutions for temporary and permanent works.

Accelerating climate change is causing more frequent and devastating storm events causing floods, landslides, erosion and river pollution, alongside extended periods of drought, soil desiccation and wildfire events.

OGI offers a broad range of hydrogeological services that extend beyond groundwater control.

OGI oversees a wide range of complex dewatering operations on site to ensure the successful and safe implementation of the dewatering design
