What is being bought

Published requirement description

The proposed project is to assess the ability to upscale hydraulic properties of Merica Mudstone Group (MMG) from small-scale, short-duration hydrogeological testing to mid-scale pumping tests and to large-scale, long-duration construction based on data obtained during HS2 Phase 1 works. This work will support site characterisation in data-poor inshore GDF areas, improve understanding of regional-scale groundwater behaviour, and enhance the robustness of safety case
