Expertise
With a growing population and global warming, water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource. This means we need better risk management through monitoring and prediction, especially when it comes to groundwater. Because when you unlock the secrets of the hydrogeological conditions beneath the surface, you can better control and predict the flow of groundwater. And you can design and build better assets – that last longer. We design groundwater monitoring plans for urban areas through innovative data acquisition methods and remote sensing technology. This leads to more efficient, cost-effective groundwater systems. We also offer consultancy services and geo-hydrological field research studies to help with groundwater remediation, wastewater disposal, and spatial groundwater planning surface monitoring.

Case study
Sustainable dike design ideas prove their worth against floods
In the Dutch province of Limburg, we helped develop and implement two cutting-edge, sustainable dike designs. The idea: construct the dikes using the area’s own materials, carefully integrating them in the landscape. However, the soil did not meet the standard requirements for dike clay.
Case study
365 kilometres of levees, locks, and sluices: a safety assessment
The Dutch have always been pioneers in hydraulic and geotechnical engineering. After the devastating North Sea flood in 1953, flood defence became a pillar of Dutch innovation. So when the Dutch regional water authority needed to determine the strength of its primary levee system, they appointed a Dutch company to conduct levee safety assessments – Fugro.
