GeoReport News

Please note that we are in the process of making a phased return to site in order to resume our services. We are not yet able to work full-time on site and we will also be working through a backlog of orders so our turnaround times are currently longer than usual (currently about 20 working days).

If there is likely to be a delay to our usual turnaround times we will inform you of this before we start work on the report.

Note – because of the limitations associated with our report writers needing to work from home:

· The Engineering module is temporarily unavailable for adding to reports.

· All reports for areas of complex geology are temporarily unavailable.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused, we aim to respond to all your requests as soon as possible and hope to resume full services when permitted to do so. If you have any urgent concerns, please email enquiries@bgs.ac.uk

Borehole reports

Site investigation borehole*

This report is designed for those drilling at a specific point and describes the geological succession you might encounter if drilling a borehole. It also includes geological map extracts. You can customise and enhance this report by adding modules.

from £282.00 (inc VAT) Set location

Water borehole : Less than 20m³/day*

This report is aimed at users intending to extract <20m³/day water (often for domestic use). It contains an evaluation of the geological formations beneath the site in terms of aquifer potential including water levels, groundwater yields and quality.

from £642.00 (inc VAT) Set location

Water borehole : Greater than 20m³/day*

This report is aimed at users intending to extract >20m³/day (commercial use). It contains an evaluation of the geological formations beneath the site in terms of aquifer potential including groundwater yields, water levels and groundwater quality.

from £786.00 (inc VAT) Set location
