Comprehensive Geological Study for Gas Pipeline
Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP
Data Required – $80 – 10 Days
Project Duration:
Delivery deadline: 10 days from project start
All maps, GIS layers, datasets, and imagery must be included
Each map must include CRS/projection information
All data sources must be cited and accessible
Project Description:
I am looking for a qualified geologist, GIS analyst, or remote sensing specialist to conduct a comprehensive desk-based study for a gas pipeline route in the Broadway area, UK. The project involves geological, hydrological, terrain, and land use analysis, along with detailed mapping and documentation. The outcome will inform fieldwork and final reporting.
Scope of Work
Geological and Geomorphological Analysis
Identify and map faults, rock formations, and soil types
Analyze and map rotational landslides, mudslides, cambering, and gulls
Use aerial imagery, LiDAR, DEMs, and geological datasets
Develop a conceptual site model highlighting terrain behavior
Hydrology and Hydrogeology
Map spring lines, surface water features, drainage patterns, and groundwater flow
Assess groundwater vulnerability, aquifer properties, and water quality factors
Analyze river flow dynamics, recharge behavior, and hydrological risk zones
Terrain and Hazard Risk Assessment
Identify slope instability, erosion zones, mass movement areas
Evaluate terrain-related risks to pipeline construction
Propose initial mitigation strategies based on terrain classification
Land Use Analysis (Historic and Present)
Use historical maps to analyze past land use: agriculture, quarrying, woodlands
Map current land use: arable farming, grazing, active quarries
Identify land use changes and their environmental impacts (e.g., fertilizer use)
Mapping Requirements
The following maps must be produced in high resolution:
Geological map
Superficial geology map
Hydrogeological and hydrology map
Terrain hazard/risk map
Land use maps (historical and present)
Pipeline route alternatives with terrain constraints
Each map must include:
Projection and coordinate reference system (CRS) used
Scale bar, north arrow, legend, and clearly labeled features
Data sources, acquisition date, and metadata
Deliver maps in:
Word format for reporting
Editable formats (e.g., QGIS, Surfer, ArcGIS, TIFF, GRD, etc.)
Final Deliverables
All maps in Word and editable formats
All raw spatial datasets used (or download links if too large)
A technical summary report (approx. 3–5 pages) covering:
Methods used
Data sources
Risk assessment summary
Key findings and recommendations
Justification for suggested pipeline routes
Note: All outputs will be used in an academic report, so clarity and completeness are essential.
Tools and Software
You are free to use any software or tools you prefer, including:
Surfer
ArcGIS
QGIS
ILWIS
Global Mapper
Other advanced terrain or remote sensing tools
Data Access Support
If any necessary datasets are not publicly available, I can obtain them through university access. Please send a list of missing data you need.
Budget and Timeline
Fixed budget: $80 USD
Delivery deadline: 10 calendar days from project acceptance
To Apply
Please include the following in your proposal:
Brief description of your approach and tools
Confirmation of timeline
Relevant experience or portfolio (especially related to geological or hazard mapping)
Thank you for your interest. Quality, accuracy, and full data access are key priorities for this project.
