Geology & Hydrogeology

Geology is a broad field that encompasses a host of specialized subdisciplines such as geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, geomorphology, and hydrogeology. At Haley Ward, we apply our
expertise in near surface geological processes, hydrogeology, and
material resources to both environmental and engineering investigations.

The application of these and many other sub-disciplines allows us to understand the framework within which we must work to solve environmental problems.

Haley Ward has experts in many fields of geology who have worked on a range of geological projects. These have included borrow source, quarry investigations and permitting, groundwater supply investigation and development, geological hazard avoidance, environmental impact assessments, and many more.
