Environmental Modelling and Simulations

Since 1982 Vatnaskil Consulting Engineers has provided specialized consulting, simulation and modelling services to private corporations and governmental organizations in Iceland and abroad. We specialize in geothermal reservoir, groundwater, surface runoff, air pollution and environmental modelling. Our employees have a strong educational background and extensive experience within the fields of civil engineering, hydraulics, hydrology, and geothermal reservoir engineering. 

Ideally situated in Iceland, a geothermal hotspot where high emphasis is placed on environmentally friendly practices, our employees have been involved in most major projects in Iceland where highly sophisticated modelling service are required.

Vatnaskil's specialists also have years of experience teaching at the Engineering Department at the University of Iceland, the United Nations University (UNU) Geothermal training program in Iceland, and at various seminars and courses in England in cooperation with our associates at Vatnaskil - Land and Water Resource Consultants in Cambridge, England. Vatnaskil has also cooperated with the Division of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Science Institute of the University of Iceland in development of numerical methods for hydrodynamic simulations.
