Soil and water quality monitoring and gauging
We offer the service of environmental monitoring, including water and/or soil sampling, water level measurement (with installation and download of data from dataloggers), measurement of water flow rates (gauging), management and transfer to laboratory and analysis of results, preparation of periodic reports for authorities and/or baseline updates.
Drilling supervision
We perform technical direction of drilling with our team of professionals (geologists, hydrogeologists, engineers and specialized technicians, as required) for groundwater exploration, exploitation/supply, dewatering or monitoring.
Our service includes, if necessary, hydrogeological consultancy in the previous stages, including geophysical exploration, field surveys, well location, preliminary designs, material calculations, etc. During drilling, constant communication is maintained with the client and the drilling team (Hidroar or other subcontractors) to achieve the objectives set, performing geological control, tests (airlift, lugeon, packer), sampling, final casing designs and development control.
Once the well is finished, we have the capacity to carry out pumping tests or installation of equipment as needed.
Drilling
We have a Drillmine DMD 350 - 2014 with direct circulation drilling system with compressed air or mud injection, as needed. Capacities up to 300m depth in ø 8".
We also have dry rotary drilling rigs with solid or hollow helical bits, mainly required in environmental studies.
Additionally, our wide experience in the field allows us to count with other drilling companies allied to adapt to the client's needs.
Hydrogeological and environmental consulting
Our field of activity includes hydrology, groundwater prospection, evaluation and development, water resources use planning, engineering geology, environmental impact assessment, and related subjects.
Among our areas of expertise we can highlight:
Technical direction of drilling
Pumping tests and interpretation of results
Hydrogeological studies of supply or dewatering, baselines
Water prospecting by geophysics
Development of conceptual and numerical hydrogeological models
Environmental monitoring and analysis of water quality
Hydrological and environmental studies
Water balances
Pumping tests
We conduct pumping tests using our own equipment rated up to 75 HP or higher-capacity units (to be provided by the client). We provide labor, equipment as needed, and a water crane to carry out any installation.
We have over 40 years of experience in this field, performing well development, staged tests, continuous tests, and simultaneous pumping in multiple wells (we have performed simultaneous pumping of up to 7 wells at flow rates of 100 l/s each, using 175 HP equipment installed by our team).
We adapt to the client’s needs, providing a turnkey service. If necessary, we also carry out installations for fixed water supply systems (intake structures, pipeline laying, solar panels, shelters, etc.).
