Groundwater Modelling Services

Advanced Numerical & Analytical Modelling Led by Expert Groundwater Consultants

At GWC, we believe that groundwater models should be designed as defensible tools for decision support. We thus design groundwater modelling to solve specific objectives, adapting methodology to the density of available data.

Our team of mining dewatering specialists utilises advanced commercial software to simulate complex subsurface behaviours, ensuring that your mine designs are supported by scientifically sound boundary conditions. The ultimate goal is the long-term sustainability of your project.

Numerical Capability: MODFLOW & Feflow

We have a proven track record of delivering high-stakes modelling for Tier 1 operators in the Pilbara.

Finite Difference (MODFLOW)

Ideal for large-scale dewatering and depressurisation studies in sedimentary basins.

Finite Element
(Feflow)

Applied to complex unstructured grids and intricate geometries.

Contaminant
Transport

Simulating the fate of groundwater under future scenarios, including saltwater intrusion and tailings seepage.

Pore Pressure & Slope Stability

Integrating groundwater pressures into geomechanical models is critical for safe mine design. We provide 2D or 3D pore pressure distributions in transient or static conditions, which can be directly translated into geotechnical software, such as Slide 2D/3D or RS 2D/3D.

Uncertainty Analysis (PEST & PEST-IES)

To quantify project risk, we utilise PEST for uncertainty modelling. This allows us to identify whether acceptable depressurisation rates are achievable or if proactive drainage measures (e.g., drain installation programmes) are required.

Visualisation through Leapfrog

We bridge the gap between technical data and stakeholder communication by building instructive 3D geological and hydrostratigraphic models using Leapfrog.
