Why Red Creek?

​

Know who works on your project

 

Are you sure that the best people are working on your project?  The consultant proposal may be filled with a "project team" which includes very experienced people, but are these people working exclusively on your project? Unlikely.

 

Unlike the bigger consultancies, we do not have many junior staff to farm out the many projects that come through the doors of bigger consultancies.  We answer the phone when you call and we do the work for you.

 

Relevant experience

 

Yes, there are many hydrogeologists that say they have a lot of experience, but do they have relevant experience? Many of the hydrogeologists working in Western Australia today had never worked on mining or civil projects before they jumped ship when groundwater work became plentiful and profitable during the mining boom. 

 

With Red Creek, you are sure that the people that work on your project know your operations.  Our people worked throughout Western Australia and the world assisting big and small mining operations in all water related aspects.

 

Our approach to modelling

 

The complexity of a numerical model is inversely proportional to the experience of modeller.

 

Having developed many models and reviewed many more, there is no doubt that models seldom hit the mark where it counts.  We have seen many complicated “calibrated" models being dead wrong – there are many ways to calibrate a model.

 

Our approach is to keep models simple and we use our experience to focus on the aspects of the model that matter.  Our emphasis is to make sure the model represent the important groundwater processes correctly.  We make sure you understand how reliable the model is, the uncertainties of the model input parameters, the impact of these uncertainties on model predictions and the implications if the predictions are different than expected.
