Who We Serve
If you are developing or operating a mine, agro‑industrial complex, power plant or major infrastructure project, water is not just a resource – it is a strategic asset and a key risk factor.
At Hidrogeo Plus, we specialize in groundwater and water resources solutions for large‑scale, high‑demand projects across Latin America. We combine over 50 years of experience and more than 12,000 hydrogeological studies with rigorous engineering to help you:
- Reduce uncertainty around water availability and quality.
- Secure and maintain environmental permits and regulatory compliance.
- Ensure operational continuity and protect your investment over the life of the project.
What We Do for Large Projects
We act as your technical partner for everything related to groundwater and water wells, from early‑stage studies to long‑term operation.
Hydrogeology and Water Resources Management
- Regional and site‑scale hydrogeological studies to characterize aquifers and define sustainable yields.
- Groundwater–surface water interaction analysis to support water balances and environmental assessments.
- Aquifer testing and pumping test interpretation to validate well performance and long‑term behavior.
- Numerical groundwater modeling (e.g., MODFLOW, FEFLOW) to evaluate scenarios, drawdown, impacts and mitigation measures.
- Water resources management plans aligned with local regulations and international lenders’ requirements.
Well Siting, Design and Supervision
- Geophysical surveys (electrical resistivity, etc.) with a 95% success rate in identifying productive aquifers.
- Well siting and conceptual design for production, monitoring and dewatering wells.
- Technical supervision of drilling, development and testing, ensuring design criteria are met and documented.
- Well integrity and performance diagnostics to optimize existing wells and extend their useful life.
Permitting, Compliance and Risk Management
- Support for environmental permitting processes related to groundwater use, discharge and monitoring.
- Baseline studies and impact assessments focused on the water environment.
- Groundwater monitoring networks and data interpretation for compliance reporting.
- Water risk assessments to identify threats to supply, quality and regulatory compliance, and to define mitigation strategies.
Turnkey Well Projects and Operational Support
- Turnkey water well projects: from geophysical siting to drilling supervision, equipping, commissioning and maintenance plans.
- Selection and specification of pumps, motors, variable frequency drives, solar pumping systems and control panels.
- Preventive and corrective maintenance programs to maximize reliability and energy efficiency.
- Training for operations teams on well and pumping system management.

How We Work with You
We adapt to your project structure and governance:
- We can act as specialized hydrogeology subconsultant to EPCM firms, engineering companies or international consultancies.
- We can serve as local implementing partner for field investigations, well programs and monitoring campaigns.
- We can provide targeted expert reviews of existing studies, models and well designs.
- We work with your standards, templates and reporting requirements, and can deliver in English or Spanish.
Typical engagement models:
- Exploration / Pre‑feasibility: desktop studies, geophysical surveys, preliminary hydrogeological conceptual models, well siting strategies.
- Feasibility / EIA: detailed hydrogeological studies, aquifer testing, numerical modeling, baseline monitoring, permitting support.
- Construction / Operation: well field design and supervision, equipment specification, commissioning, optimization and maintenance programs.
- Closure / Post‑closure: groundwater recovery modeling, long‑term monitoring strategies, closure water management.
Selected Project Types
While specific client names are often confidential, our team has supported:
- Greenfield and brownfield mining projects in arid and high‑altitude environments, including water supply well fields, dewatering programs and groundwater impact assessments.
- Large agro‑industrial developments requiring reliable irrigation water supply, aquifer characterization and sustainable abstraction strategies.
- Infrastructure and energy projects where groundwater control, dewatering and environmental compliance are critical to schedule and cost.
