Wells and subterranean water catchment

Focused on maintaining a multidisciplinary and diverse approach to the market, Carlos Rodrigues LDA. provides a range of different services with the sole objective of guaranteeing your satisfaction.

Sounding surveys and subterranean water catchment

We provide catchment system solutions incorporating carefully scaled projects and framed by rigorous technical specifications. Our sounding technologies include boring in accordance with the prevailing geology, analysing the delayed well logs and testing the programmed productivity.


We are specialists in prospecting for subterranean water on mainland Portugal, deploying methods appropriate to the local hydro-geological environments, including "Inverse Circulation". We apply a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating indirect methods from geophysics and detailed geological, structural and hydrogeological studies, among others.

Cleaning and restoration of subterranean water catchment sources


Subterranean water catchment sources require periodic cleaning and maintenance works.


To this end, we carry out an initial phase of analysis and put forward the most appropriate methodology and always considering the cost-benefit relationship.


Our cleaning methods include jetting with compressed air, air lifting and brushes. We specialise in cleaning water catchments with jetting equipment, to this end deploying hoses and the appropriate nozzles.


Auditing subterranean water catchment sources

Subterranean water catchments require periodic audits due to the potential for either natural degradation or that caused by inappropriate exploitation.


At Carlos Rodrigues LDA., we undertake audits of catchments and electro-mechanical equipment, ensuring greater post-intervention efficiency.

Testing the flow or pumping capacity

We make tests on water flows through recourse to a submersible electric pump appropriate to the different scales required and registering the levels within the catchment over the course of time..
 
This testing may focus on evaluating the production capacity of a particular source, using either a scaled test or with a variable flow. Through testing the pumping, this also enables the evaluation of the hydrodynamic capabilities of the aquifer under exploitation.


The interpretation of these tests produces parameters, such as for Transmissivity and the Storage Coefficient, essential to the sustainable management of aquifers.


Installation and removal of electro-mechanical pumps and equipment

In accordance with the geometric and hydrodynamic characteristics of the catchment, coupled with its operating regime, it is crucial to choose the most appropriate electro-mechanical for the respective objective while always taking into account the cost-benefit relationship. At Carlos Rodrigues LDA., we provide decades of experience and qualified technical staff, capable of selecting the most efficient equipment and resulting in cost savings returned over the life cycle of the respective catchment.


In case of breakdowns, we deliver repair options for pumping equipment or leasing one of our pumps, thus guaranteeing the continuity of catchment exploitation in accordance with the needs of the client.

Hydrogeological studies

Portugal spans a diverse range of geological systems that influence the storage and movements of subterranean water and dividing into four distinctive hydrogeological units.


In order to guarantee the sustainability of aquifers, it is essential to adapt the drilling methods, appropriately scale the geometry of the catchment and optimise studies of the respective location. Our hydrogeological studies are carried out by a technical team specialised and experienced in hydrogeology.
