We provide comprehensive geoscience and environmental services covering the entire project life cycle – from initial surveys and expert analyses to remediation, monitoring, and long-term site management. Our solutions are based on expert data, applicable legislation, and many years of experience in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Prospecting for deposits and exploration of mineral resources
Searching for, geological exploration and evaluation of raw material deposits
Find out more
Prospecting for deposits and exploration for mineral resources include professional geological activities focused on searching for, identifying, and evaluating mineral deposits and assessing their geological and deposit potential. This work serves as a basis for decisions on the further use of the territory, or for follow-up exploration or investment steps.
Prospecting and exploration work includes the study of available archival and map data, field geological mapping, the use of geochemical and geophysical methods, and the design and implementation of exploration work, including sampling and evaluation. The results are interpreted within the framework of a deposit-geological assessment with an emphasis on the nature of the raw materials, their spatial distribution, and possible methods of further verification.
An integral part of the service is the preparation of technical documentation and output reports, including the design and implementation of deposit-geological projects, in accordance with applicable legislation and government requirements. The service is intended for investors, industrial entities, and public institutions that need qualified geological data for strategic, project, or decision-making processes.
The scope of work is always determined individually according to the nature of the area and the objective of the exploration.
Expert and consulting services
Environmental audits, risk analyses, EIA and expert supervision of projects
Find out more
OPV provides expert and consulting services in the field of environmental protection, focusing on environmental risk assessment, compliance with legislative requirements, and professional supervision of project implementation. These services are intended for investors, municipalities, industrial companies, and government agencies.
The offer includes environmental audits assessing the compliance of activities with applicable legislation, analyses of pollution risks to human health and ecosystems, authorial and professional supervision of remediation and exploration work, preparation of opposing opinions, and archival research of the territory. OPV also provides the processing of EIA documentation and assessments in accordance with Act No. 100/2001 Coll.
Geological and hydrogeological surveys
Geological, hydrogeological, and engineering geological surveys of the territory
Find out more
OPV carries out comprehensive geological, hydrogeological, and engineering geological investigations for a wide range of projects – from the assessment of historical environmental burdens to construction planning and the evaluation of water resources.
The investigations include fieldwork, drilling and probing activities, laboratory analyses, and evaluation in the form of expert reports and graphical outputs. The results provide essential data for foundation design, assessment of infiltration conditions, protection of water resources, landslide investigations, and the design of measures for sustainable water management in the landscape.
Remediation of contaminated sites
Comprehensive remediation of soil, rock environments, and groundwater, and emergency services
Find out more
OPV provides comprehensive remediation services for contaminated sites, from initial analysis of the problem to final evaluation of the achievement of remediation goals. Remediation measures are proposed on the basis of detailed site surveys, risk assessments, and technical and economic evaluations of possible solutions.
We use both long-proven remediation methods and modern technologies with low energy consumption and minimal environmental impact. The work includes ongoing analytical monitoring, modeling of contamination development, and preparation of final documentation in accordance with applicable regulations.
Field measurements and laboratory analyses
Sampling and analysis of water, soil, gases, and other matrices
Find out more
OPV has technical equipment that enables it to perform field measurements and sampling with immediate evaluation directly on site. This data significantly speeds up decision-making and work management, especially in remediation and emergency interventions.
Samples are taken from a wide range of matrices, including groundwater and surface water, soil, soil air, sediments, building structures, and waste. We are equipped with an emergency kit located on an off-road vehicle, which enables rapid remediation intervention, e.g., in the event of transport accidents involving the release of harmful substances, industrial accidents, etc.
Mathematical modeling and GIS
Modeling of flow, contamination transport, and risk assessment
Find out more
Mathematical modeling is used as a key tool for assessing hydrogeological conditions, contaminant transport, and designing optimal remediation or monitoring measures. OPV uses modern software tools with a direct link to geographic information systems (GIS).
The models serve as a basis for risk analysis, the establishment of water source protection zones, the processing of EIA and IPPC documentation, the design of remediation measures, and long-term monitoring. High-quality models contribute to reducing financial costs and increasing the efficiency of follow-up work.
Environmental monitoring
Standard and advanced monitoring using IoT and AI technologies, real-time data collection and evaluation.
Find out more
OPV provides standard and advanced environmental monitoring, including continuous monitoring using its own IoT technologies. The systems enable real-time data collection, archiving, evaluation, and timely warnings when monitored limits are exceeded. The solution includes OPV's own IoT platform with online access for customers, the possibility of expanding with analytical tools, the use of satellite data (e.g., COPERNICUS, GRACE) and our own drone technology , and the use of artificial intelligence for predictive environmental assessment. Monitoring is suitable for industrial sites, water resources, landfills, and long-term monitored locations.
Waste management
We provide expert studies and surveys for waste management, including the location of new industrial and municipal waste landfills and solutions for old and unsuitable landfills.
Find out more
We provide professional services in the field of waste management with a focus on the preparation and assessment of sites for new industrial and municipal waste landfills. For selected sites, we carry out comprehensive hydrogeological, hydrological, and engineering-geological surveys, which serve as a basis for decisions on the location and technical design of the facility.
Our services also include the remediation of old and unsuitable landfills, for which we develop remediation and recultivation projects. We provide expert supervision of the implementation of these measures and subsequent monitoring of their impact on the rock environment and groundwater.
Our solutions are designed with an emphasis on environmental protection, operational safety, and compliance with applicable legislation.
HOW IT WORKS
How does cooperation with OPV work?
STEP 1: UNDERSTANDING THE PROJECT AND THE SITE
At the outset, we familiarize ourselves with the client’s objectives, available documentation, and the specific characteristics of the site. We assess geological, hydrogeological, and environmental conditions and propose the optimal approach and solution.
STEP 2: EXPERT SOLUTION AND IMPLEMENTATION
Based on the approved methodology, we carry out professional investigations, analyses, and design work. We ensure the implementation of proposed measures, provide technical supervision, and maintain ongoing communication with all involved parties.
STEP 3: RESULTS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND LONG-TERM CARE
The outcome of the collaboration includes professional reports, recommendations for further actions, and guidance for the long-term use or protection of the site. Where required, we also provide follow-up monitoring and expert support in subsequent project phases.
“Cooperation with OPV s.r.o. was crucial to the success of our project thanks to their professional approach and precise execution.”
