The impact human activities have on the environment has becoming an increasingly discussed topic in recent years. As we continue to develop our world, it is imperative that we work to understand and mitigate the impacts our activities have on the environment. Síor Consulting Ltd. (Síor) was approached by McGinty Planning and Development Consultant’s (McGinty) to provide comprehensive hydrological, hydrogeological, and geospatial consulting services to appraise a quarry planning application in Ireland.
Síor was commissioned to characterise the hydrological and hydrogeological regimes detailed in the planning application through the deployment of our multifaceted expertise in innovative hydrological, hydrogeological, and geospatial/IT solutions.
