Cost of Hydrology Report

[chippengael]

Hello all,

Does anyone have any idea of what a full hydrological assessment might cost as part of a planned development in an environmentally sensitive area? I have a quote but it seems...high. If you have had one done, or can speak to typical costs, please let me know. Context - coastal site near an SAC, 16 units on 3.5Ha using reed bed system, full NIS already done.

Many thanks

C

See an example of one here, lot of work in preparing one of those.

Hi, thanks for that, but do you know the cost?

I don't I'm afraid but this isn't a commodity service where you can say for sure a survey should cost X. Costs will vary significantly depending on the site location and specifics. It would be best to obtain at lest three quotes and view sample output from each provider to get a sense of what the market rate is.

Unfortunately it has taken several months and 3 hydrologists to arrive at just one quote! Thanks anyway.
