HYDROGEOLOGY
AND ENGINEERING GEOLOGY
Azimut Energy Services is one of the oldest and
the largest hydrogeological enterprises within
FSU. A highly qualified staff of AES hydro-geologists
has and invaluable and most extensive experience
and expertise in virtually all types of hydrogeological
and engineering geological research conducted
during the last 40 years throughout Kazakhstan
and the CIS. The main techniques applied are electric
and seismic surveys in various modifications.
A reliable and unambiguous solution of above tasks
as well as a maximum cost efficiency are achieved
through the involvement of geophysical data and
results of drilling, laboratory and test filtering
investigations.
ECOLOGY
AES is actively developing such priority trends
as ecological researches associated with estimation
of environmental impact caused by economical activity.
AES has its own hydrochemical laboratory in Pavlodar
which investigates atmosphere, soils, water, biological
material and detects all types of radioactive
radiation. Basing on the results of comprehensive
geological, hydrogeological, engineering-geological
and ecological surveys held on the territory of
Semey nuclear test site specialists of AES worked
out an original method of preventing radioactive
impact of underground nuclear explosions onto
the environment. Investigation of the test-site
territory is inprogress. AES executed investigations
related to seismic surveying of four sites in
the Tenizsky and Precaspian Depressions.
AES Ecological Services include:
- drafting of Environmental Impact Assessments
- corporate ecological monitoring system implemented
at all stages of field operations
- assessment of ecological risks
- fixed-site and mobile geo-ecological laboratories
- database consisting of information on ecological
problems of Kazakhstan.
