Description
Company Profile
AB Hydroconsult was founded as a spin-off from Uppsala University, Department of Physical Geography, in 1962. It has ever since been a scientific consultancy company, owned by researchers working in the company. The organisation consists of a permanently employed staff of project leaders; a scientific reference group; and a contact network of researchers and consultants.
Hydroconsult has carried out several hundred major and minor projects, on all continents except the Antarctic and Australia. Many of the projects have been as sub-contractor to engineering companies, but quite a few projects have also been performed as main contractor, both in Sweden and abroad. Hydroconsult¹s field is Physical Geography, including hydrology (surface water, ground water) and geomorphology (the surface features of the Earth, and the processes shaping it, e.g., erosion, sedimentation, mudflows, waves...). In addition to the physical processes, we can also study chemical and biological factors.
We have not really got any geographical limitations any climate zone and altitude on Earth may be considered; we have experience from a very wide range of environments. Project types include Environmental Impact Assessments, hydrological studies, under-water investigations, and management projects of drainage areas or coastal environments.
