Testimonials

"The work carried out was exceptional and of a high technical level.
FMD was able to understand well the dynamics of the conceptual model, as well as all the particularities of the site management.
We are grateful to have FMD as a partner"

Leandro de Oliveira - Project Coordinator

"FMD has professionals with great technical knowledge and many years of experience in modeling projects,
which eases the interaction between consultants the modelers of flow and contaminants transport for the investigated site.
Another strong point of the FMD team is the partnership and the intent to deliver the best model possible"

Vinicius S. Vieira -
Diretor Técnico

"It is a pleasure to conclude another project with FMD. I am very happy with the result! It is evident the high technical level. Good quality report, with high standard maps, models, and illustrations. FMD provides attention and feedbacks throughout the project, always focusing on
the delivery of results"

Gabriel Portilla - Corporate Technical Services Manager

"Mid-2021, Cetrel contracted FMD to perform consulting services of mathematical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. I can say that the great differential of FMD lies in the deep knowledge of the technical team on the fundamentals of geology, which is applied at the early stages of the modeling process, in the experience with using tools and interpreting images, and, of course, in the entire numerical model development methodology, that was adapted and improved by them"

Pablo Yoshikawa - Technical Specialist

“GeoTerragua Meio Ambiente had great experiences in partnerships and consulting and modeling work carried out by FMD. The technical experience of the company's team, the advanced knowledge of topics related to geology and hydrogeology, the availability and mastery in the use of software and the pragmatism and applicability in the elaboration of geological and hydrogeological models, ensured a significant technical increase in the projects we developed. Added to this is the high commitment, transparency and reliability transmitted by the team. FMD proved to be an excellent technical partner.”

Fernando Zorzi - Director

“Tivemos oportunidade de conhecer e trabalhar com a FMD Geologia Aplicada no Plano de Segurança Hídrica da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, referente aos estudos de hidrogeologia e disponibilidade de água subterrânea. A sintonia entre as equipes PROFILL e FMD foi o destaque, coroada com excelência técnica. Um exemplo dessa excelência técnica foram as análises baseadas em sensoriamento remoto da missão espacial GRACE, referentes ao armazenamento da água subterrânea, uma informação relevante e de grande interesse para o projeto além de muito atual. Nosso próximo desafio juntos é atuar em outros projetos que ainda virão.”
