Simplifying Complex Systems to Provide Best-Fit Solutions
RockEng’s hydrogeology team has experience completing groundwater modelling studies for a variety of projects in diverse settings. Our groundwater modelling capabilities include experience using a wide variety of analytical and numerical solutions:
- Various analytical solutions (AQTESOLVTM, Python)
- 2D finite element numerical modelling (GeoStudio, RocScience)
- 3D finite difference numerical modelling (MODFLOW)
- 3D finite element numerical modelling (FEFLOWTM)
- 3D control volume finite difference numerical modelling (MODFLOW-USG)
Through advanced data analysis and effective interpretation of results, RockEng can help simulate and predict groundwater flow and solute transport to better understand potential opportunities and risks resulting from site conditions and operations.
We are highly experienced in all phases of the groundwater modelling process, including the following:
- Site characterization
- Data analysis and verification
- Conceptual model development
- Mathematical model selection
- Model setup
- Model calibration
- Model interrogation and verification
- Predictive modelling of groundwater flows, including dewatering and depressurization efforts
- Predictive modelling of contaminant fate and transport
- Model documentation
- Model review
- Permitting and regulatory engagement
Our team provides not only technical expertise but also strategic guidance to help clients achieve their goals. Our groundwater modelling studies are designed to identify and clearly communicate key findings and actionable outcomes. We transform complex data into intuitive graphs, maps, and other visualizations to help ensure findings are understood by a wide range of stakeholders. Our groundwater models and associated reports are designed to explicitly address regulatory requirements and industry standard guidance documents. This approach helps to ensure that our work is defensible and avoids unnecessary delays during regulatory reviews. Please contact us today for more information.
