Médecins du Monde (MDM), an international solidarity medical association, is planning to install a drinking water infrastructure in Tranomaro CSBII, in the Anosy region, supplied by a water well. As part of this project, RockSolid has been commissioned by MDM to carry out a geophysical exploration to highlight the contrasts between the covering and the …
The village of Maroariva, located in an estuary on the Ampasindava peninsula, has been experiencing problems with access to drinking water for a few years. In collaboration with BushProof SA, which will be in charge of the building work afterwards, RockSolid team has just carried out a reconnaissance study of the existing water resources in …
RockSolid is currently carrying out many localized subsurface studies using observation of surface and geophysical exploration, with the aim of highlighting depths of rock alteration and any underground discontinuities likely to allow groundwater to flow under the targeted sites. Our teams are working in the south-east and south of Madagascar, in collaboration with BushProof and …
RockSolid carried out studies of the underground in the fuel depots of Logistique Pétrolière SA (LPSA) located in Maintirano, Antalaha, Maroantsetra, Antsahampano and Nosy-Be. The aim of the surveys was to identify the underground structure with a view to installing groundwater observation wells at each site. The piezometers were then installed by BushProof Sàrl.
In March 2023, RockSolid carried out a siting study for the future wells planned to be built on the site of the STAR brewery in Diego-Suarez, to enable the brewery to increase its production. Hydrogeological considerations and the impact of production were also discussed. Client : Groupe STAR
RockSolid carried out an interesting hydrogeological study of the urbanised peninsula of Diego-Suarez and then focused on a few parts of town in order to highlight the possibilities for abstracting groundwater. This study was initiated by the Experts-Solidaires organisation.
Our GIS tool on the groundwater of the South of Madagascar is now online and accessible here. The background of the project and the data are presented in the accessible documents, and the geopackages (Q-GIS) and some thematic maps can be downloaded there. We are really hoping this project will be useful and used by …
