Water Intake Structure

SATIF applies its expertise in the field of water intake systems to the maintenance and upkeep of infrastructure

Video Diagnosis

Inspection of structures using a pendulum method (boreholes, wells), underwater inspection by divers (using helmet-mounted or robotic cameras), and inspection of pipeline networks (Ø 30 to 1,200 mm) to assess the current condition and develop a rehabilitation plan. Preparation of a report including a cross-section of the structure, photo excerpts, video recordings, and recommendations.

Fields of application

• Water towers
• Fire protection tanks
• Industry
• Wells
• Networks

Regeneration

Implementation of processes specific to each type of structural damage through mechanical and/or chemical treatment. Structural restoration projects are followed by post-repair pumping tests and a report.

Fields of application

• Industry
• Wells

Well Rehabilitation and Conversion

Improving catchment capacity by creating new water inflows: installation of radial drains using horizontal submersed drilling, construction of barbicans, replacement of the filter bed, removal of the telescopic pipe… The structures are modified without disrupting their hydrostatic equilibrium.

Fields of application

• Industry
• Wells

Pump Tests

Development of characteristic curves for a structure to determine its critical operating flow rate.

Installation of submersible pumping systems with monitoring of water levels based on pumping rates.

Data collection via data acquisition probes and processing by our engineering department. These tests can be short- or long-term.

Fields of application

• Industry
• Wells

Relining

Modification of a structure by installing a casing with a smaller diameter to extend its service life and ensure its water collection capacity.

Fields of application

• Industry
• Wells

Inerting

Abandonment of a borehole or well following a court order. Prior removal of the structure’s equipment and implementation of appropriate techniques to ensure that no water flows and that no pollution is transferred, in accordance with standard NF 10-999.

Field of application

• Industry
• Wells
• Water intake
