Standpipe Piezometers
Standpipe Piezometers offer a simple and economic method for measuring water pressures in soil and rock.
Typical applications include monitoring of water pressures for the control or assessment of:
- Stability of natural or cut slopes
- Performance of vertical drains, sand drains, and dynamic compaction
- Dewatering and drainage schemes
- Performance of earthfill dams and embankments
- Containment systems at landfills and tailings dams
- Seepage and ground water movements in embankments, landfill dikes and dams
- Uplift pressures in dams or other foundations when fitted with a Bourdon Gauge
- Simple and reliable long term measurement of pore water pressures
- Manual reading using water level meters or automated reading by installing a pressure transducer down the standpipe
- Maintenance possible using down-hole video cameras
- In conjunction with Bourdon type gauges allows measurement of uplift or artesian pressures
