Our expertise

Eight areas of expertise, one team.

Department staff are primarily hydrogeological and civil engineers, backed by drilling teams equipped with quality machinery — enabling the following work to be carried out simultaneously:

01

Geophysical surveys

Siting using the electrical method: profiles, electrical soundings, resistivity traverses, hydrogeological report.

02

Water drilling

Up to 300 meters deep, with complete drilling equipment and mobile rigs.

03

Water quality testing

Pumping tests (CIEH method), analysis of water availability and quality.

04

Pumping installations

Hand pumps (PMH) and solar-powered pumps suited to village and rural contexts.

05

Hydraulic systems

Water storage and distribution for market gardening, and private/public distribution networks.

06

Urban and peri-urban water supply

Water supply for urban centers and expanding peripheral areas.

07

Solar parks

On-grid and off-grid installations, including battery storage equipment.

08

WASH systems

Water, sanitation and hygiene: latrines, handwashing, chlorination, sanitary infrastructure.

Field impact

13 years of presence on Sahelian ground.
