3D Geophysiscs in Geneva
DROPSTONE consultancy proposed to the Services Industriels de Genève an exploratory application of the 3D ERT-IP geophysical method (Electrical Resistivity Tomography and Induced Polarization) to improve the identification and characterization of Quaternary aquifers. Originally developed and widely used in the mining industry to assess the geometry and quality of exploitable ore bodies, this technology enables […]

Since 2016, Dropstone has been a committed partner of the Industrial Services of Geneva (SIG) within the framework of the cantonal GEothermies.ch programme. Through sustained projects of hydrogeological investigations, we have contributed to the strategic assessment of geothermal potential and to a refined conceptual understanding of the principal aquifer systems across the canton. Our work […]
Drilling Campaign and Pumping Tests – Geneva
The Industrial Services of Geneva (SIG) commissioned our firm to carry out two exploratory boreholes in Thônex, Geneva State, including pumping tests to define the aquifer characteristics. This work made it possible to refine the understanding of the local geology and hydrogeology, which until then had remained largely unknown below the shallow aquifer horizon. The […]
