Our work
With more than 7000 projects throughout Québec and New Brunswick, Akifer has developed a renowned expertise in hydrogeology, environment and remediation of contaminated sites.
For 35 years, businesses, cities and governments have relied on our expertise and adapted solutions to manage their hydrogeological and environmental problems.
Geophysical survey (seismic-refraction) to determine profile of bedrock, identify presence of deep valleys or fracturation zones).
Exploratory drilling
Geophysical survey (electrical resistivity) to locate geological formations with groundwater potential.
Construction of observation wells to determine direction of groundwater flow.
Pumping tests to determine aquifer potential and groundwater quality.
