Layne utilizes a wide variety of computer simulation techniques to predict the response of an aquifer system to real world conditions such as well field development, well field expansion, contaminant migration, seawater intrusion, and various other site–specific aquifer stresses. Utilizing these techniques Layne can meet a wide variety of client objectives including optimizing well spacing and pumping rates for initial aquifer development or well field expansion, and determining the treatment methods for contaminants present in the aquifer. Our methods include two–dimensional analytical models and complex three–dimensional numerical flow models and solute transport models. This sophisticated technology enables Layne to determine the most cost–effective solution based on each client’s needs.
