Case Study – BHSC/QUB

McLorinan Consulting can help you realise the benefits of a private water supply using natural underground water resources, from deep aquifers underlying your site.

Groundwater resources have been exploited for drinking water and industrial supply for over one hundred years. The aquifer conditions are complex and require careful management, and groundwater is now a protected resource which must be used in a sustainable manner. Unregulated/unlicensed groundwater abstractions are now illegal under new environment legislation.

McLorinan Consulting is a local, independent environmental consultancy specialising in the sustainable exploitation of groundwater resources and we have an unrivalled experience in implementing private water supplies in Northern Ireland. We offer a one-stop-shop for the design, drilling, water quality testing, water treatment (if required), control, distribution and licensing of private water supplies.

McLorinan Consulting Ltd. have implemented many hundreds of private water supplies, including safe private private water drinking supplies for major hospitals, universities, caravan sites and bottled water companies.

Our team of scientific professionals can help you exploit these resources to reduce you water bill by over 90% with system payback periods usually less than 1 year.

Whether you have an existing groundwater supply which is not meeting your needs of wish to explore groundwater supply at your site, we can help you maximise your groundwater potential.

All groundwater abstractions in Northern Ireland drawing in excess of 20m³/day now require and abstraction license issued by NIEA.  It is now illegal to abstract more than 20m³day of groundwater from a well or borehole without an abstraction license.  Supporting information demonstrating that the groundwater is sustainable, produced by a qualified hydrogeologist, may be required by NIEA prior to the issue of a license. We are specialist groundwater consultants, including a former groundwater regulator, and we can complete the abstraction license process on your behalf.
