Groundwater Strategies That Keep Development Moving

At GEMS, we deliver hydrogeological services built for urban development. Whether you’re planning a multi-phase subdivision or preparing for excavation in a dense downtown core, we help you manage groundwater challenges without slowing down your schedule.

Our team specializes in physical hydrogeology—groundwater flow studies, dewatering strategies, and permitting support tailored to the realities of land development. We understand the complexities of working in built-up environments, from confined aquifers to tight discharge constraints, and we design solutions that work with your site—not against it. Our hydrogeology services include:

• Groundwater flow and infiltration studies
• Construction dewatering system design
• Permits to Take Water (PTTW) and Discharge Agreements
• Groundwater monitoring and reporting
• Liaison with municipalities and conservation authorities

We work closely with your consultants, engineers, and project managers to deliver clear, defensible recommendations that support approvals and reduce risk. And when conditions change on-site, we respond fast with practical guidance that keeps your project on track.

With GEMS, you get more than a report—you get a partner who understands development and delivers solutions that move with you.
