ABOUT FLOW

WATER RESOURCES CONSULTANTS

We are consultants in Earth Sciences, specialists in water resources and minerals in the aqueous phase. Our services focus on increasing water security, reducing risk and optimizing water or brine operations, assessing environmental impacts and managing compliance, estimating mineral resources, and protecting and remediating surface and groundwater.

We believe that relationships of trust with our teams and with our clients allow us to build enriching and beneficial technical environments for all.

We value the professionalism, integrity, honesty, and diversity of the work team; efficiency in processes based on innovation and creativity, under the inherent commitment to safety; the excellence and quality of our services, oriented to the needs of our clients, and being socially and environmentally responsible.

FLOW SERVICES

Hydrogeology

In different climatic environments and situations, the operational management and protection of groundwater represents a challenge.

Knowledge and planning from early stages allows the resource and associated risks to be properly managed.

Conceptual characterization of groundwater systems
Modeling of flow and transport of solutes in groundwater
Analysis of pore pressure for slope stability
3D geological modeling
Drilling supervision and supervision of production wells and piezometers
Extraction optimization in well fields
Evaluation of the availability of water in aquifers
Technical review of studies
Hydraulic barrier design and remediation
Infiltration calculation (e.g. landfills y tailings)
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

Technology: Online Monitoring

Online Monitoring allows online visualization of the performance of environmental and operational variables measures in the field. It is Internet-based and the system can be accessed from anywhere on a connected device.

The system allows generating graphical reports of the variables in a friendly format, with intuitive navigation and for different types of user. Its configuration allows alerting of unwanted changes in variables for decision-making in the operation and environmental compliance.

Simple and organized access to field and/or processed information.
Promotes ordered and validated databases.
Quality control of records to feed BD
Station monitoring through data status.
It facilitates the validation of records and management of reports.
Greater visibility, showing permanent interest in innovation in tools and processes.
