- if you are interested in details.....


Our special survey vehicles for groundwater investigation and hydraulic testing

  • 10 special survey vehicles and trailers with computerized central data collection; on-board PC for test evaluation
  • HYDRA 2.0 on-board software for evaluation of pumping tests and tests by double-logarithmical type curve method with mathematical derivation to diagnose the flow model and inner/outer side conditions (aquifer diagnosis).

Our equipment for pumping tests and tests in wells and groundwater monitoring wells

  • More than 40 types of submersible and special pumps of < 0.1 I/s to 20 I/s
  • Pumps up to 250 m of pressure head
  • Pumps for borehole and/or monitoring well diameters of 2", 3", 4", 5" and more
  • Packer installations for horizontal pumping tests in boreholes and monitoring wells from 2"
  • Piezoresistive pressure sensors for digital determination of the water level (automatic compensation of atmospheric pressure), precision of measurements of 1 mm to 5 mm, depending on the survey area
  • Electromagnetic meters for flow rates of 0.0001 to 10 I/s (20 I/s mech.)
  • Measuring chains for automatic monitoring of temperature, pH-value, electric conductivity, oxygen and redox potential in water delivered
  •  AquiTronic multi and single channel data logger systems for continuous registration of all parameters measured from 1 s of measuring frequency
  • Mobile and fixed groundwater treatment plants (solvents recycling, strip units, catalytic oxidation plants for catalytic afterburning, light liquid separators, activated carbon filters, combined groundwater and soil gas decontamination, 2-phase pumping systems
