| Hydrogeologic Characterization and Groundwater Monitoring Systems |
| We define "hydrogeologic characterization" to bet he understanding of groundwater flow conditions based on carefully planned and conducted in-situ testing, whether the focus is groundwater contamination, tunnel construction or for research related to nuclear waste repositories. Between a large supply of testing equipment and the ability to produce/alter the equipment in our own workshop, we specialize in providing test equipment that is right for the given job to ensure a high level of quality and the most representative field data possible. |

| Hydrogeologic Testing for Tunneling and Excavations |
|
 |
|
The planning of new trans-Alp tunnels in France, Switzerland, and Austria requires data regarding hydrostatic water pressure and permeability of the host rock. Solexperts provides testing services and specialized systems to depths of 2500 meters. |

| Hydrogeologic Testing for Hazardous Waste Sites and Potential Landfill Sites |
|
 |
|
Determination of hydrogeologic parameters is critical for risk evaluation at contaminated sites. Evaluation of potential landfill sites requires a clear understanding of the hydrogeologic characteristics of geologic barriers. Collection of dependable data requires dependable and flexible test equipment that can be configured to meet the testing needs. |

| Research Related to Nuclear Waste Disposal |
|
| We are proud that our reputation for quality and our in-house know-how have resulted in contracts at research sites for nuclear waste disposal around the world. Our specialized test systems and test methods are put to use in the Grimsel and Mont Terri Rock Laboratories in Switzerland, as well as in other research facilities in France (Bure, Tournemire), Aspö (Sweden), Taiwan and Japan (Horonobe). |

| Multi-Level Groundwater Monitoring |
|
 |
|
Characterizing how groundwater conditions change with depth and time is critical to understanding potential contaminant transport. We design and build systems to monitor multiple zones in a single borehole for pore-water pressure, hydraulic testing, and water sampling. |

| Customized Packer Systems |
|
 |
|
Packer systems are temporary or permanent instrumentation that allow depth-specific hydraulic testing and sampling in boreholes. Solexperts specializes in the design and manufacture of packer systems customized to our customer's needs. Applications of our systems include water sampling during hydraulic testing, or monitoring pore-water pressures in a vertical profile along a tunnel.
Having our own machine and electrical workshops allows us to customize test systems to our customer's specific needs in a cost-effective manner. |
