Drilling screen tube well with fully hydraulic drilling machinery developed by us in the 1980s.

The third and fourth generation of our company: Risto, Petri, Samu, Matias and Jussi Reijonen.

We are a Finnish family business that specializes in water acquisition and groundwater investigations. Since 1940s, we have developed to answer to our clients' needs.

About us

High-quality and typically used Keller ARC-1 device.

More information about the devices from <link>the website of Keller</link>.

We plan the setup and details of the automation, implement it in the field and check the functioning of the devices even after installation.

We implement the automatisation of groundwater level measurements comprehensively from planning and implementation. Additionally, we import Swiss Keller measurement devices.

Well drilling for oxidizing groundwater with VYR method.

VYR method presented in an exhibition in Sweden in the 1970s.

We implement and maintain groundwater withdrawal structures that use internationally known VYR method. VYR method is developed by us.

Extraction of iron and manganese from groundwater in soil

This powerful investigation drill machinery for Finnish soil types is developed by us.

Our observation wells give reliable measurement results for a long time and they are suitable for automatic measurements as well as for collecting water samples.

The flow velocity measurements give the point-by-point speed and the direction of the groundwater flow.

We offer e.g. observation wells, well location surveys, hydraulic conductivity measurements and groundwater flow velocity measurements.

Field investigations

Creating the groundwater flow model starts with defining the borders of the model, such as the ground and base rock elevation, as well as with defining the boundary conditions.

In addition to traditional square grids, our modern modeling tools enable the use of irregular polygon grids, such as Voronoi grids. With irregular grids, the model can be made more detailed in the areas of interest.

We calibrate our models thoroughly so that the simulations run with the model are reliable.

We create reliable groundwater flow models with long experience. The models can be used extensively in various groundwater and artificial groundwater projects.

Groundwater flow modeling

We offer groundwater consulting and contracting from screen tube well construction, maintenance and renovation to test pumpings and legal services concerning groundwater.

Our experience and expertise is well illustrated by the fact that the documents we have drawn up have led to significant precedents for the field.

We can prepare statements in legal processes of various land use projects.

For decades, we have defended our customers' interest in juridical processes. We prepare documents for water permit processes as well as for land use projects.

Our observation wells are long-lasting and high quality.

We install long-lasting groundwater observation wells for various purposes with unique and efficient machinery that we have developed.

Observation well construction

Observation wells play a crucial role in the impact monitoring.

The investigations are planned on case-by-case basis taking into account the scope and the conditions of the site.

Thoroughly planned investigations can be executed regardless of the time of the year.

We plan groundwater and artificial groundwater investigations, create monitoring plans for waterworks and assess the groundwater impacts of water withdrawal and other activities.

Planning and consulting

We have conducted groundwater projects in over 2000 locations in Finland. Most of our recent projects have been provided as turnkey services consisting of planning, surveys, investigations, well drilling and permitting.

We have conducted groundwater projects in over 2000 locations in Finland. Most of our recent projects have been provided as turnkey services consisting of planning, implementation and permitting.

Our sustainability can be described with independence and reliability as professional consultants, innovations, research, development and ensuring the sustainable use of groundwater reservoirs.

Sustainability

The groundwater pumped during the test pumping can be directed for example to a lake.

Sprinkling recharge is one of the options for MAR tests.

When implemented correctly, the recharge is possible also in winter conditions!

We implement successful test pumpings and artificial groundwater investigations for ensuring the functionality of waterwroks or MAR plants and getting water permits.

Test pumpings and managed aquifer recharge tests

Different sizes and types of our FLUXSCREEN screen tubes.

We implement screen tube wells with drilling machinery and FLUXSCREEN screen tubes we have developed. FLUXSCREEN screen tube patented by us and it is the most used solution for tube wells in Finland.
