Deep Geophysical Exploration Technologies and Securing Sustainable Water Supplies for Strategic Facilities.
Project Portfolio of Hydrogeological Studies, Groundwater Exploration, and Well Drilling
This page showcases the proven strategic track record of Al Marsad Al Makani in supervising and preparing advanced hydrogeological studies, as well as exploring groundwater reservoirs and sources. These vital packages were executed for top-tier government and sovereign entities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) and the Ministry of Interior (MOI). This portfolio reflects our technical capability to deliver sustainable water solutions that support the core infrastructure of mega cities, residential complexes, and strategic security facilities across various regions of the Kingdom (Riyadh, Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and Medina).
The applied operational methodology in these projects relied on integrating digital surface geophysical solutions with field drilling engineering. Advanced Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) and Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) systems were utilized to map subsurface geology and precisely identify water-bearing sedimentary layers. This was followed by deep well drilling operations, high-precision CCTV Camera Inspection, and prolonged Pumping Tests to guarantee peak operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and compliance with the highest local and international standards.
