BushProof has decided not to hold the Technical Training in Water Infrastructure in Madagascar any longer, rather we want to try to promote on-site training where it is required. This is to make it more efficient in terms of carbon emissions and our environmental impact, while bringing cost down per participant and being able to

We have just completed the construction of a drilled water well, a small raised water storage (2.5 m3) and installation of an efficient solar pumping system intended to supply water (3 m3/day) to a hospital in the commune of Anivorano-Est, in the East of Madagascar. We very regularly build this kind of small-scale system for

In light of the global climate emergency, BushProof is now taking the lead in being responsible for the carbon emissions produced by its activities. It is doing this through calculating the emissions produced, and balancing the carbon through a tree planting initiative in the UK run by Forest Carbon and certified by the Woodland Code.

We have just started to operate our new PAT drill 421 drilling rig. We now own four rigs, allowing us to drill in rotary and down-the-hole hammer up to 200 m deep, and in a maximum diameter of 12’’.

BushProof has just started the construction of a groundwater drainage gallery in a shallow valley filled with low permeability sediments. The installation of the 20 metre long drain will help to convey groundwater in a more efficient way to a 10 metre deep abstraction well built on the side. The system will supply water to

We have just completed one session of our Technical Training in Water Infrastructure, organized in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The next session will be held from 02 to 07 of September 2019 in Antananarivo again. Application is open. Besides this, we will run two other sessions this year for ICRC staff in Nairobi, Kenya.

Staff members at BushProof have recently been introduced by the manager to the LEAN Management (Six Sigma) method. Various good practices aiming at improving the profitability of the company’s operations and the working improvement of the employees are currently being put in place. Improving production sometimes involves a simple change in the work routine. This

Between July and November, we collaborated with the Swiss NGO MEDAIR in the environmental survey of the commune of Marolinta, situated in the south of Madagascar. This survey has allowed us to gather information on the geology and hydrogeology of the commune. An important part of the survey has consisted of a geophysical exploration at
