Hydrogeology & Engineering

Services

Three directions, one subject: groundwater. From field investigations and a calibrated model to design documentation, expert review and site supervision.

Design

Working documentation for dewatering, drainage and groundwater protection, with state expert review support and site supervision.

Construction dewatering

Wellpoint, deep-well and vacuum systems for excavations, cofferdams and pile foundations; discharge, treatment and monitoring.

Details (in Russian) →

Mine dewatering and depressurisation

Inflow forecasts and drainage schemes for open pits and underground mines, pit slope depressurisation, mine water management.

Details (in Russian) →

Drainage systems

Horizontal, vertical, radial and perimeter drains for buildings, industrial sites and territories; pumping stations and outfalls.

Details (in Russian) →

Seepage cut-off walls

Slurry walls, secant piles, jet grouting and grout curtains; performance verified on a numerical model.

Details (in Russian) →

Reactive barriers

Sorption and permeable reactive barriers that stop contaminant migration in groundwater.

Details (in Russian) →

Tailings storage facilities and impoundments

Seepage assessment, groundwater protection and monitoring for tailings dams, sludge ponds and process water reservoirs.

Details (in Russian) →

Landfills

Groundwater conditions, base drainage and protection of aquifers for municipal and industrial waste landfills.

Details (in Russian) →

Flood and groundwater protection of territories

Protection of land, settlements and industrial sites from flooding and rising groundwater, including the justification of flood-zone boundaries.

Details (in Russian) →

Protection of buildings and structures

Diagnosis of waterlogged basements and foundations, drainage and waterproofing solutions verified by modeling.

Details (in Russian) →

Geological risk assessment

Probability and damage assessment for flooding, suffosion and landslides; risk management recommendations before construction.

Details (in Russian) →

Stormwater and surface runoff

Runoff calculations, drainage networks, retention and treatment of surface water for industrial and urban areas.

Details (in Russian) →

Remediation of legacy contaminated sites

Groundwater assessment and engineering measures for the closure of sludge ponds, dumps and other legacy facilities.

Details (in Russian) →

Modeling

Numerical models calibrated against field data. The model is the calculation core of every large project we deliver.

Groundwater flow and contaminant transport

MODFLOW and FEFLOW models of inflows, drawdown, barrier performance and contaminant plumes, with forecasts for decades ahead.

Details (in Russian) →

Surface runoff and flood modeling

HEC-RAS rain-on-grid models of catchments and floodplains; flood maps and the sizing of protection measures.

Details (in Russian) →

Ground thermal regime

Freezing and thawing forecasts for permafrost foundations, thermal stabilisation and seasonal effects.

Details (in Russian) →

Consulting

Field data and expert support for owners, designers and mining companies.

Hydrogeological investigations

Pumping tests, packer tests, tracer tests and monitoring wells that measure aquifer parameters directly.

Details (in Russian) →

Groundwater monitoring

Monitoring networks and programmes with response criteria for mines, tailings facilities and industrial sites.

Details (in Russian) →

Research and development

Applied studies of seepage, contaminant transport and dewatering methods for non-standard conditions.

How we work

From a water problem to a reliable solution

01

Task analysis

We study the site investigation data, the structure and the construction schedule and say plainly which data are missing.

02

Calculation and model

Analytical seepage calculations and a numerical model, a double justification of every decision.

03

Design

A full documentation package - explanatory note, drawings, bill of quantities, specifications, cost estimate. Support during expert review.

04

Implementation

Site supervision, monitoring and adjustment of decisions to the actual conditions on site.

Detailed service pages are currently available in Russian. Write to us in English, we will answer the same way.
