Water Resources

A large share of Africa's drinking water comes from groundwater. We monitor, assess and deliver information on streamflow, groundwater, water quality and availability — and confront the water dimension of climate change with science-based solutions.

What we deliver

Hydrogeology + groundwater

Groundwater analysis, monitoring and modelling (2D and 3D)
Well drilling, pumping tests and yield assessment
Groundwater protection zones — review and designation
Infiltration tests, tracer tests and rainwater retention design
Interaction between surface water and groundwater
Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) support

Construction dewatering

Drainage of building pits and excavations
Dimensioning of infiltration systems
Flow measurement and retention of meteoric water
Management and supervision of hydrogeological works

Geothermal use of aquifers

Hydrogeological preliminary investigations
Planning and supervision of pumping tests
Thermal and groundwater modelling
Medium-depth and deep geothermal energy assessment

Climate

Local and regional climate assessments — temperature, precipitation, radiation, wind
Drought expertise and water management studies
Interaction between mountain and lowland areas
Studies on the impact of climate on groundwater

Measurement + monitoring

Groundwater level, conductivity, pH, redox, oxygen, temperature, turbidity
Piezometer and standpipe installation
UTL temperature data loggers and deformation measurement on springs
Pore water pressure measurement and cavity detection

We make it happen

We read the ground. We de-risk the build.

From dam foundations on the Nile to transmission lines across the Great Lakes, our crews turn Africa's toughest sites into certainty you can build on.
