Groundwater Strategies That Keep Your Property Development on Track

At GEMS, we provide hydrogeological services designed specifically for property owners and managers navigating urban development. Whether you’re overseeing a large subdivision or preparing for excavation in a tight downtown space, we help you address groundwater challenges without disrupting your timeline.

Our focus is on practical, site-specific strategies—from groundwater flow studies to construction dewatering and permitting. We understand the realities of building in dense urban areas, including confined aquifers, limited discharge capacity, and complex permit conditions. Our services include:

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

We collaborate closely with your engineers and project teams to deliver defensible recommendations that support approvals and minimize delays. And if site conditions shift, we respond quickly with solutions that keep your development moving forward.

With GEMS, you get more than a consultant—you get a proactive partner who understands your property, priorities, and pressures.
