    Project Details

    Fugro's team of experienced geophysicists conducted a specialized investigation to map erosive leaks threatening Burkina Faso’s Comoé dam. The dam, vital for Banfora's population center, irrigation, and flood control, faced structural concerns due to leaks in its basement. The Ministry of Water and AGETEER commissioned Fugro to conduct a comprehensive survey using sophisticated geophysical techniques to accurately locate and characterize leaks.
