Clear-Cut Hydrogeological Studies
Enviroc Groupe Fondasol supports you in analyzing, managing, and protecting groundwater—whether for a real estate project, municipal infrastructure, or an industrial site.
From estimating the seasonal high-water table to stormwater management, well drilling, aquifer monitoring, and contamination risk assessment, we deliver reliable data for informed decision-making.
Our Expertise at a Glance
Comprehensive Hydrogeological Analysis
We conduct hydrogeological studies to:
- Understand aquifer behavior
- Estimate water resource quantity and quality
- Assess contamination risks
- Evaluate the impact of a development project or pumping
Each study is tailored to your objectives, taking into account regulatory approvals, required water supply capacity, planned development, mitigation needs, and more.
Water Table Estimation
Our experts determine:
- Key groundwater levels (average, current, or long-term)
- The seasonal high-water table, linked to risks of uplift, soil instability, or flooding
We rely on piezometric measurements, climate data, and statistical analyses to produce maps, time-series graphs, and sound recommendations.
Stormwater Management
Our hydrogeological stormwater management studies aim to:
- Determine soil infiltration capacity
- Design infiltration systems (soakaway pits, swales, retention basins)
- Ensure compliance with municipal and provincial regulations
- Protect the aquifer and reduce runoff
We use Lefranc or Guelph tests, along with site surveys and borehole investigations. Our reports are always clear, detailed, and ready for direct use.
Analytical Groundwater Drawdown Study
In construction or large-scale projects, an analytical drawdown study helps to:
- Assess the effects of temporary or permanent pumping
- Predict impacts on aquifers, surrounding soils, and existing structures
- Design safe and efficient pumping or drainage systems
Our services include pumping tests, modeling (Dupuit-Thiem, Forchheimer), and piezometric monitoring.
Drainage Feasibility Study
Before implementing a subsurface drain, outlet, or filter trench, we confirm its technical relevance by:
- Conducting boreholes, permeability tests, and groundwater regime/topography analyses
- Designing the alignment, depth, filter materials, and discharge flows
- Integrating stormwater management and geotechnical safety considerations
Targeted Hydrogeological Expertise
If you need expert advice before, during, or after construction, our hydrogeologists respond quickly to address issues such as:
- Unexpected groundwater infiltration
- Presence of iron ochre or other deposits
- Water management in excavation pits
