Ground Gas Monitoring Assessment

If the Phase I Desk Study identifies a potential risk of ground gases that could affect the proposed development site, then a suitable ground gas monitoring assessment will be required. This involves the installation of a gas monitoring standpipe within a minimum of three boreholes, followed up by a number of gas monitoring visits, whereby levels of gas are monitored on different occasions. This will then allow for a detailed assessment of the gas regime on the site, and allow us to know if ground gases pose a risk to the proposed development or not.

​

Ground Gas Monitoring is carried out after the Phase II Intrusive Investigation works have been completed, upon installation of the appropriate gas monitoring standpipe into the boreholes.
