Surface Water Installation in South Miami-Dade County

Hydrologic Associates personnel have decades of experience in the collection and analysis of groundwater data throughout Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Our experience includes conducting long and short term aquifer tests (the latter mainly consisting of step-drawdown and specific capacity tests) on single or multiple wells. Using the proper analytical solution (such as confined or unconfined aquifer, leaky aquifer, fractured rock aquifer, etc.) derivation values of aquifer transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, leakage, specific capacity, and storage coefficient can be calculated.

Hydrologic Associates has in-house capabilities to complete the tasks listed above and has the following types of equipment and instrumentation for quantitative analysis of groundwater.

• Pressure Transducers: In Situ Trolls, In Situ Multi Channel Hermit
• Centrifugal Pumps: With intake 2-inch, 3-inch, 6-inch discharge hoses
• Downhole Pumps: Grunfos 5, 10, and 20 horsepower for various flow rates and head
• Line Shaft Pumps - (3) 8, 12 and 16 inch
  • With diesel PTO – rated at 1000 to 10,000 gallons per minute
• Borehole Camera – Black and white
• Flow Meters
  • Haliburton in-line (2)
  • Marsh- Mc Birney
  • Cross Correlation (capable of measuring large pipes to 60 inches and volume)
