Hydrogeology

Know Your Flow

Make Informed Decisions.

Understanding groundwater dynamics is critical to the success and safety of mining, infrastructure, and environmental projects. At DGI Geoscience, we provide high-resolution, in-situ hydrogeological data that helps you characterize hydrogeological properties, flowpaths, and manage water-related risks.

Why It Matters

Whether you’re designing a tailings storage facility, planning dewatering strategies, or investigating contamination, knowing how water behaves in the subsurface gives you the insight to plan confidently and operate safely.

Technologies We Use

We tailor each hydrogeological investigation to your site conditions using a powerful toolkit:

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)

Measure porosity and permeability—distinguishing between bound and mobile fluids—without radioactive sources.

Flowmeters

Locate and quantify flow zones and zonal hydraulic conductivity, under ambient or pumped conditions.

Elog & Cross-Hole Resistivity

Identify water-bearing zones, saturation profiles, and plume pathways with excellent depth resolution.

Temperature & Conductivity Sensors

Locate inflow zones and evaluate water quality through precise thermal and salinity gradients.

Caliper & Gyro/Deviation

Determine verticality, deviation, and annular space before casing and pump installation

Casing/Screen & Cement Inspection

Measure & image casing and screen corrosion/damage and cement bond quality

Flowmeter for Zonal Hydraulic Conductivity​

Video Inspection

Provides visual confirmation of downhole conditions to support groundwater assessment, borehole integrity evaluation, and hydrogeological interpretation.

Applications

DGI’s hydrogeological services are trusted across sectors:

Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs)

Understand saturation levels, assess seepage risks, and design performance monitoring systems.

Mine Dewatering

Identify transmissive zones and optimize pumping infrastructure for efficient, cost-effective water control.

Tunneling & Underground Infrastructure

Reduce risk during excavation by evaluating groundwater inflow zones before construction begins.

Waste Management & Environmental Monitoring

Map contaminant pathways and support regulatory compliance with defensible data.

Water Well Design & Inspection

Identify water-bearing zones before well development or packer testing, and diagnose problems in existing wells.
