Extensive work on the knowledge of water resources in southern Madagascar

RockSolid‘s hydrogeologists, together with BushProof and with the support of the Swiss Humanitarian Aid (SHA), participated in a project on the knowledge of the aquifers of southern Madagascar. This project consisted of collecting existing data, verifying it, acquiring important and missing data, creating a reliable database and creating a useful mapping tool, in order to …

Investigation work on a hydraulic structure

RockSolid was recently commissioned by Ambatovy Minerals to analyse a water retention structure that was leaking at its base. The material resistivity measurements carried out on the dam highlighted the areas of water transit, enabling remediation options to be discussed and designed.

Groundwater survey in limestone and karstic area

RockSolid has participated to an extensive hydrogeological study of the area between Andranovory and Toliara in southwestern Madagascar. This limestone area has no surface water and a deep regional aquifer showing karstic development. Groundwater exploitation in the area is known to be complicated. RockSolid works here with Experts-Solidaires and has been able to determine interesting …

Looking for Groundwater in arid climate area

RockSolid is currently working for its partner BushProof on a UNICEF contract as part of the response to the drought situation in the South of Madagascar and the construction of new water wells. The underground survey that we undertake are carried out throughout all the South, and its different geological and hydrogeological contexts.

underground profiles

RockSolid recently worked on a massive exploration for a future graphite extraction and processing site in the Ampanihy region of southwestern Madagascar. RockSolid carried out 20 km of resistivity and electromagnetic profiles up to 140 m deep, over an area of 80 km2. The study is part of a hydrogeological survey that takes place prior …

Participation to an Aquifer study for a coal mining project

RockSolid has just completed operations as part of an aquifer study for the coal mine project led by Lemur Resources in Imaloto, Atsimo-Andrefana. RockSolid has produced different resistivity profiles of the underground in specific areas, upstream of sounding work to assess the hydrodynamic parameters of aquifers. The study is part of a data acquisition strategy …

Highlight of fissured aquifers in an arid context

RockSolid has intervened as part of the response provided by the organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to the drought situation in southern Madagascar. Our main task in this intervention was to carry out underground studies to highlight fissured zones, which would allow groundwater flows in an arid context. These surveys made it possible to locate …
