Piezometer Installation
Professional installation of standpipe and vibrating wire piezometers for groundwater elevation, hydraulic head measurement, and aquifer pressure monitoring at environmental and geotechnical sites.
Applications
- Groundwater elevation and hydraulic head measurement
- Aquifer hydraulic conductivity testing
- Vertical hydraulic gradient assessment
- Landfill leachate monitoring
- Dam and levee seepage monitoring
- Construction dewatering assessment
- Artesian pressure and confined aquifer investigation
- Long-term groundwater level trend monitoring
Key Advantages
- Vibrating wire, standpipe, and BAT piezometer types available
- Installation in boreholes, pushed, or driven
- Grouted and sealed per regulatory and engineering standards
- Datalogger-compatible for automated continuous monitoring
- Cost-effective alternative to full-diameter monitoring wells
- Minimal site disturbance with direct push installation
About Piezometer Installation
Piezometers measure groundwater pressure and hydraulic head at specific depths within an aquifer or soil formation. IET installs standpipe (open-tube) piezometers and vibrating wire piezometers in drilled boreholes or via direct push methods, depending on formation conditions and monitoring objectives.
Piezometers are widely used in geotechnical investigations for dam and levee safety monitoring, embankment stability analysis, and dewatering programs, as well as in environmental programs to define vertical hydraulic gradients and groundwater flow directions at contaminated sites. IET's crews install piezometers to meet project-specific engineering specifications and regulatory requirements, with full construction documentation provided.
