SHORELINE CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE (SCAT)
SHORELINE CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE (SCAT)
We have the experience and the capacity to carry out a wide array of Environmental Assessments, monitoring, management, and remediation of contaminated soil (surface and subsurface), air, ocean, lagoons, estuaries, and groundwater.
Our positive approach to environmental consulting is multidisciplinary, simple and applicable. We access and adapt the best technologies available in the world, systematically investigating and evaluating all potential environmental issues likely to significantly affect the ambient environment and proffer solutions, adapt them where necessary and then deploy them to the project.
At Geoterrain, we identify and develop control measures when assessing the environmental consequences of clients’ proposed developmental projects. We provide environmental management and planning support to evaluate and mitigate impacts from anthropogenic activities on the natural environment.

SHORELINE CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE (SCAT)
SHORELINE CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE (SCAT)
Shoreline Clean-up Assessment Technique (SCAT) is a comprehensive and systematic oil spill response approach that involves using standard terminology to collect data on shoreline oiling conditions and support decision-making for shoreline clean-up. It is used to identify and establish a correlation between the shallow subsurface lithologies within the study zone and, potentials for human exposure and evaluate the oil spill impact on the biodiversity of the affected site. Hence, it supports decision-making for proper shoreline clean-up.
Geoterrain as an indigenous Shoreline Clean-Up Assessment Technique (SCAT) provider and we have carried out SCAT assessment for major oil spill incidences along the coast of the Niger Delta in Nigeria, spanning over 185 km. Based on our experiences and in-depth knowledge from similar SCAT projects, we are well-positioned to assist in reducing your environmental footprints.
OIL SPILL RESPONSE
SHORELINE CLEAN-UP ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE (SCAT)
FATE AND EFFECT STUDIES
We have the capability as an indigenous company to undertake crude oil spill containment, recovery clean-up and remediation of crude oil polluted sites. Based on our experiences, availability of cutting-edge technology and techniques, seasoned Partners, and in-depth knowledge base from similar oil spill response services.

NON – INTRUSIVE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY INVESTIGATION
FATE AND EFFECT STUDIES
Geoterrain provides the needed services that address the increasing need for quantitative and objective assessments of ecological impacts resulting from the release of toxic substances. These assessments are typically required for spills resulting from conventional and non-conventional events, for planning and management decision-making for remediation.
We are proficient in the use of the Risk-Based Corrective Action (RBCA) software in modelling Site Specific Target Levels (SSTL) for each hydrocarbon components. We also help to predict the transport, fate, and effect of discharged drilling effluents, drilled cuttings, and produced water from hydrocarbon well-bores on all terrains using appropriate technologies so as to make recommendations for future decision-making.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION/HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDIES
Subsurface Investigation
The objectives of our subsurface investigation include the determination of the physical, mechanical, sequence and nature of the subsurface strata (geologic regime), as well as groundwater conditions (hydrologic regime). We use state of the art technology to carry out soil investigation and analysis. We also use geophysical methods such as Ground Penetrating Radar survey (GPR), Electrical Resistivity Tomography ERT, Vertical Electric Sounding-VES and Electromagnetic Conductivity using Very Low Frequency VLF- EM) to obtain subsurface data about a site.
Our multidisciplinary team consist of geologists, geophysicists, hydrogeologist, environmental scientist, and engineers have many years of experience in conducting:
- Cone Penetration Testing (CPT)
- Soil boring
- Borehole drilling and well installation
- Borehole logging (Wire Line Logging, Petrophysical and Borehole Imaging)
- Seabed sampling
- Analysis (Sieve, Spud Can, Sedimentation testing, Atterberg Limits test, Triaxial shear Test, Material testing)
- Sand search
- Buried infrastructure mapping
- Industrial water well drilling
- Foundation investigations
WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The intensity of man’s activities has led to an increasing volume of liquid and solid waste worldwide despite the current level of global technological advancement and industrialization. Landfill/dumpsite serves as the ultimate recipient of municipal and industrial solid waste if not treated. This poses a great threat to human health, the surroundings, and the underlying aquifer.
With our integrated environmental professionals, we provide services in the fields of dumpsite and hazardous waste management through the application of state-of-the-art technology. Geoterrain Waste management services include
- Drill cuttings management,
- Engineered landfill management,
- Waste stabilization,
- Effluent treatment,
- Sludge tank cleaning, and
- Thermal desorption
RE-ESTABLISHMENT SURVEY
Surveying is an integral part of construction and refers to the installation of visual reference points and markers (e.g., stakes, beacons, reference markers, etc.) this defines the property limits and guides the construction of projects. At Geoterrain, we conduct detailed topographic surveys using modern state-of-the-art tools and techniques that enable engineers to carry out detailed engineering designs of projects.
This includes:
- Topographical/ boundary of facilities establishment
- Re-establishment of lost beacons
- Identification of underground piping/facility probing
- Structural integrity assessment of facilities
