AWN has carried out numerous extensive hydrogeological investigations and assessments at an existing Industrial Plant in Co. Kildare. Key studies include the following:

• Hydrogeological site investigation to establish groundwater conditions in the bedrock aquifer at proposed development and undertaking long-term groundwater monitoring (2011 and 2012);
• Design and supervision of pumping tests at selected bedrock boreholes to determine aquifer properties and estimation of potential dewatering rates during developments (2012);
• Hydrogeological assessment of the potential impact of proposed developments on the Water Environment, including cSAC (2011 and 2012);
• Design and implementation of mitigation measures, including continuous compliance monitoring of groundwater at sensitive Water Environment receptors and agreeing mitigation measures with regulators (2012);
• Hydrogeological modelling of proposed excavations to assess the potential impact of the development on groundwater flow paths and groundwater contours (2012);
• Quantitative Water Environment Risk Assessment (QERA) of soil leachate results to assess the potential impact on Water Environment receptors (2011).
• Soil, Geology and Hydrogeology Chapters for EISs for numerous planning applications (2011 – 2012)
