Uisce Éireann Supply Demand Balance Programme
TOBIN was commissioned by Uisce Éireann to investigate new groundwater sources to address supply demand deficits across multiple public Water Supply Zones. As part of this project, TOBIN is responsible for developing solutions to provide additional treated water to each identified zone. This involves assessing the existing supply, identifying suitable locations for new groundwater abstractions […]
GSI Shannon Corrib Catchment Assessments
TOBIN was appointed by the Geological Survey Ireland to carry out a regional assessment of the groundwater potential within thirteen catchments in the Shannon-Corrib region of central and western Ireland. The assessments develop an initial hydrogeological conceptual model for each catchment and provide a basis for prioritising further investigation into groundwater resources. Further information can […]
GSI Lough Carra LIFE
TOBIN was appointed by the Geological Survey Ireland to carry out a hydrogeological assessment of Lough Carra as part of the EU LIFE project that aims to protect this unique marl habitat in Co. Mayo. TOBIN is carrying out karst feature mapping, multiple dye traces and groundwater monitoring to establish the groundwater flow paths and […]
Hydrogeological Investigation – Evidence Based Cryptosporidium Risk Assessment for the Portlaoise Water Supply Scheme
Portlaoise Public Water Supply (PWS) (Drinking Water Code 1600PUB1004) was placed on the Remedial Action List (RAL) in 2014 due to ‘inadequate treatment for Cryptosporidium’. Nine production wells currently abstract 9,900 m3/d from a Regionally Important Karst Aquifer and a Locally Important Aquifer that is Moderately Productive only in Local Zones. The report forms an evidence […]
Galmoy PWS
TOBIN prepared a source protection plan for the existing wells similar to work we are currently carrying out across the country with the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI). The technical standard achieved within the Source Protection Zone (SPZ) delineation was that of the Geological Survey of Ireland, both in terms of implementation and reporting. SPZ […]
Turlough Monitoring GSI
Client: Geological Survey Ireland Key Facts: Groundwater flooding represents a significant flood hazard for many rural communities and is a primarily associated with lowland karst in the west of the country. Due to the unprecedented flood events of 2009 and 2016 the GSI were in position to establish a three year project monitoring, […]
