AECOM

AECOM is an infrastructure consultancy and principal contractor with expertise spanning water, environment, energy and geotechnical engineering. Its work covers advisory, feasibility, design, engineering, construction oversight and programme management for complex public- and private-sector projects.

Its groundwater capability includes abstraction borehole design, groundwater investigation and exploitation, dewatering assessment and design, groundwater impact assessment, monitoring schemes and test-pumping design. This places the business firmly in the technical and project-delivery end of the borehole sector, rather than as a domestic-only drilling contractor.

AECOM’s UK Geoenergy Observatory project in Cheshire demonstrates substantial borehole experience. Working as principal contractor, the team delivered a complex programme involving 21 boreholes, each 100 metres deep, with advanced instrumentation for geothermal research, groundwater-flow control and environmental monitoring.

The business is suited to demanding commercial, industrial, construction, public-sector and research-led schemes that need coordinated technical advice and delivery. Clients can draw on multidisciplinary expertise where boreholes form part of wider groundwater, geothermal, infrastructure or environmental programmes.
