Hydrogeology


Dewatering System for a Dam FoundationDewatering System for a Dam Foundation
Cornforth Consultants' hydrogeologists offer extensive experience characterizing the groundwater conditions for project sites and identifying impacts for construction. When conditions or project objectives dictate, our team designs dewatering measures to temporarily dewater a site during construction or for the design life of the project. We routinely complete regional groundwater studies, pump tests, and dewatering designs in a variety of geologic settings to meet project objectives.

​Listed below are representative projects and services for clients such as the US Army Corps of Engineers, City of Longview, Jensen Drilling, and PacifiCorp Energy.


Representative Projects:

  • Navy CVN Drydock Repair
  • St. Johns Levee Cutoff Wall
  • Ashton Dam Seepage Investigation
  • Trojan Nuclear Plant Water Supply
  • ​Cowlitz River Levees
  • Fern Ridge Dam Dewatering
  • Scoby Hill Landslide Dewatering
  • Ives Island Habitat Piezometers
  • Spangler Hill Landslide
