Groundwater resource development in Co. Donegal
        
Minerex Environmental has successfully completed the Shannagh Lough Borewell Abstraction feasibility study, on the Fanad Peninsula.

The study involved the exploration and development of groundwater resources in a buried gravel filled channel associated with a large fault apparent in the surrounding landscape. A geophysical survey was conducted to identify the extent and nature of the buried gravels.

Subsequently a pilot borehole was drilled into the clean gravels adjacent to the Lough and a signficant supply was proven after a 7 day pumping test. The results of the feasiblity study suggest that further drilling in the clean gravels could provide the full water requirements of the scheme.
        
        
Groundwater resource development in Co. Louth
        
Minerex Environmental have successfully completed a programme of groundwater exploration and development for a proposed development near Omeath, Co. Louth. The programme was designed to prove the availability of the development's requirement for large quantities of potable water from groundwater onsite.

Following a desk based study, which included a detailed examination of the bedrock geology and records for private wells in the area, a geophysical survey was carried out by our associate company, Minerex Geophysics. The survey identified a large vertical feature in the low permeability turbiditic bedrock underlying the site.

Subsequently, Minerex Environmental managed the drilling of an exploration borehole into this feature, by a local drilling company, which located a water-bearing igneous dyke intruded into the turbiditic bedrock. A 72-hour pumping test proved a well yield of more than double the development's original water requirements and water quality testing proved a potable supply.

Minerex Environmental provide a full range of hydrogeological services and offer a staged approach to groundwater resource exploration and development.
