Hydrogeology
Know Your Flow
Make Informed Decisions.
Understanding groundwater movement is critical to the success and safety of mining, infrastructure, and environmental projects. At DGI Geoscience, we provide high-resolution, in-situ hydrogeological data that helps you characterize fluid flow, assess formation properties, and manage water-related risks—above and below ground.
Why It Matters
Whether you’re designing a tailings storage facility, planning dewatering strategies, or investigating contamination, knowing how water behaves in the subsurface gives you the insight to plan confidently and operate safely.
Our Approach
We combine cutting-edge borehole logging tools with geoscientific expertise to deliver clear, actionable groundwater insight.
Plan
We work closely with your team to define project objectives and select the most effective tools.
Measure
Our downhole logging systems capture real-time, high-resolution data on porosity, flow, conductivity, and more.
Interpret
DGI’s geoscientists analyze the results and provide context-specific insights that drive better decisions.
Deliver
We package data and interpretations into clear reports that support engineering, permitting, and long-term monitoring.
Technologies We Use
We tailor each hydrogeological investigation to your site conditions using a powerful toolkit:
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
Measure porosity and permeability—distinguishing between bound and mobile fluids—without radioactive sources.
Spinner & Heat-Pulse Flowmeters
Detect and quantify groundwater movement in real time, under ambient or pumped conditions.
Elog & Cross-Hole Resistivity
Identify fracture zones, saturation profiles, and plume pathways with excellent depth resolution.
Temperature & Conductivity Sensors
Locate water-bearing fractures and evaluate water quality through precise thermal and salinity gradients.
Applications
DGI’s hydrogeological services are trusted across sectors:
Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs)
Understand saturation levels, assess seepage risks, and design performance monitoring systems.
Mine Dewatering
Tunneling & Underground Infrastructure
Waste Management & Environmental Monitoring
Case Study Highlight
Reducing Dewatering Complexity in Northern Ontario
At a fractured bedrock site, DGI used NMR and spinner logging to identify key transmissive zones. The resulting model allowed the client to cut pumping needs by 30%, while maintaining regulatory drawdown targets and avoiding over-design
