GEOLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY & GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT

Our clients have consistently acknowledged their appreciation of our practical, fundamentally sound approaches to evaluating geologic and hydrogeologic problems and our ability to propose creative solutions for either prevention or remediation of environmental impacts. Clients have included natural resources development companies, manufacturing industries, residential and commercial land developers, government agencies, and Native American tribes.

For these clients, JBR has completed a wide array of natural resource extraction projects, energy generation and transmission projects, manufacturing facilities, destination resort development, multi-use developments, and abandoned or closed mining and industrial facilities.
