Drawing our staff from the brightest young hydrogeologists, ESI maintains a commitment to remaining at the forefront of practical hydrogeology in the UK. This has meant not just applying current best practise, but investing in the future by developing the tools and techniques to solve the most challenging problems our clients need to address. Our team of professional hydrogeologists is mostly trained at MSc level and many of our staff have studied to PhD level in hydrogeology and its related disciplines.
ESI developed the, now industry standard, Groundwater Vistas interface to MODFLOW and the pumping test interpretation software AquiferWin32, and continue to invest in this software to incorporate the latest academic advances, and make these available to the industry practitioner. We developed the RAM probabilistic risk assessment software and lead the way in promoting the use of advanced mathematical methods for semi-analytical Monte Carlo based risk assessment and the latest release allows mathematically rigorous approaches to address time-variant risk linkages through a series of steady state groundwater flow conditions.
Recent work includes playing a leading role in the development of coupled groundwater and heat transport modelling to understand the complex hydrogeological settings and to support the risk assessments used to justify ground source heat schemes. We are also playing a leading role in the introduction of improved methods to treat uncertainty and heterogeneity by developing the tools and approaches to apply formal geostatistical methods for site investigation and remediation.
We maintain our leading position through close links with academic hydrogeology, funding university research and encouraging staff members to publish their work. ESI takes an active role in the Geological Society through active participation in running the Hydrogeology Group and on the editorial board of the Quarterly Journal of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology.
