Hydro-Geo

What Hydro-Geo does

Hydro-Geo Consultores S.A.C. is a privately held Peruvian engineering and consulting firm headquartered in San Isidro, Lima, that provides integrated water resource management, hydrogeological, geotechnical, and environmental services to enterprise clients in Latin America. The firm operates 17 specialized service lines spanning hydrogeology, hydrology, hydraulics, water quality assessment, drainage, water supply and sanitation, mine closure planning, water use rights management, and environmental impact studies. Its technical stack includes 3D and 2D numerical aquifer modeling, geophysical investigation, water quality benchmarking against Peruvian Environmental Quality Standards (ECA), and the proprietary Hydrone portable bathymetric platform designed for surveying in mines, tailings dams, reservoirs, and high-acidity water surfaces. Sizing is small (11–50 employees) and the firm has delivered 500+ projects across Peru, Argentina, Chile, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Brazil.

The business model is project-based professional services delivered through direct enterprise sales. Revenue is generated via specialized consulting contracts with mining companies (the primary segment), agroindustry operators, infrastructure developers, and government/territorial development clients. Founder and General Manager MSc. Jorge Tovar Pacheco, with 34 years of applied hydrogeology experience, is registered with the Colegio de Ingenieros del Perú and holds memberships in IAH, ALHSUD, and IMWA. The firm holds sector-critical credentials including ANA (Autoridad Nacional del Agua) and OSCE registrations and an SGS supplier homologation certificate, positioning it for Peruvian water-rights work and government contracting.

The firm traces its operational lineage to predecessor TRC Hydro-Geo Ingeniería SAC (active 1998–2001, in partnership with US-based TRC Solutions Inc.) and was re-established in its current form in February 2010 as Hydro-Geo Consultores SAC. No external equity investors, parent company, or subsidiaries are disclosed. Recent activity has centered on industry recognition — Jorge Tovar received the 'Hidrogeólogo Ilustre de América Latina 2024' award and the 'Amauta de las Aguas Subterráneas' honor — alongside active project delivery and participation in Latin American hydrogeology congresses. A strategic partnership with Aquafondo extends the firm's reach into watershed conservation.
