Services

FIELD WORK AND INSTRUMENTATION

Our specialists offer a broad range of high quality geo-science services in the field, including:

Installation of weirs, boreholes, piezometers, dataloggers and pumps;
Borehole maintenance and rehabilitation;
Surface water flow monitoring, groundwater levels, pore pressures and pumping volumes;
Water quality sampling;
Geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological mapping;
In-situ permeability and infiltration tests in soils and rocks;
Tracer testing.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND GIS

Depending on the project requirements, our data management tools range from simple spreadsheet formats to elaborate Access data base systems. We offer services such as:

Digital data capture and data base management;
Information systems design;
Software development and implementation for data viewing, environmental management and hazard ranking;
2D and 3D spatial analysis;
High quality map productions.

NUMERICAL MODELLING

Our work approach is based on simplicity. We apply practical solutions to meet the project objectives. As a result, our solutions range from a conceptual diagram to a state-of-the-art numerical model. Our water modelling services include:

Statistical evaluations and probability analysis;
Water catchment and storm water run-off models;
2D and 3D flow and contaminant transport models;
Saturated and unsaturated flow analysis;
Finite difference and finite element simulations.

We use industry standard programs such as Goldsim, Hec-Ras, Autocad-Civil, Modflow, SEEP/W and Feflow.

ANALYSIS, DESIGN, WATER MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING

Our designs are based on two fundamentals: the site conditions and the water balance. Our strength lies in the interpretation of spatial and temporal geo-science data for the purpose of:

Water resource evaluations and sustainability;
Integral watershed management;
Storm water controls and hydraulic designs;
Excavation dewatering, mine water management and Acid Rock Drainage;
Aquifer vulnerability, hazard ranking and in-situ leaching of metals;
Soil and water remediation programs;
Environmental impact assessments and closure planning.
