What We Do

Environmental Geochemistry

Robust Assessment Practical Solutions


We have in-depth expertise in the management and analysis of geochemical data and the modelling of geochemical processes, in support of key decisions in the environmental and resource sectors.

LWC has successfully completed projects such as:

  • Analysis, management and visualisation of hydrogeochemical data (Hillgrove Copper, OZ Minerals)
  • Calculation of solubility limits for mineral phases in uranium in situ recovery (Uranium One Australia)
  • Predicting the risk of acid rock drainage (OZ Minerals, Rio Tinto)
  • Fate of acid mine drainage used as feed stream in hydroelectric generation (Genesis Energy)
  • Aquifer geochemical finger-printing for Federal approvals (Heathgate Resources)
  • Alternative management options for acid sulphate soils (SA Water)
  • Phase I, II and III acid sulphate soils management (Fulton Hogan, SA Water, Department of Water, Water Corporation, Power and Water NT).

We can also advise clients about the role of geochemistry in site investigation and characterisation, including: sampling strategies, methodologies and protocols, component analysis, and chemical modelling. We have staff with over two decades of combined experience in groundwater investigation and modelling.
