Vibrating Wire Piezometer

These devices are commonly used in geotechnical engineering to monitor groundwater pressures and are known for their durability and accuracy. A vibrating wire piezometer is used to measure pore water pressure in the soil, earth/rock-fill foundations, and concrete structures.

Vibrating wire piezometer finds its applications in the measurement of positive or negative pore pressure in the soil, concrete mass, or rock which also includes:

•Construction control, stability investigation, and monitoring of earth dams, embankments, foundations, shallow underground works, and surface excavations.

•Uplift and pore pressure gradients in foundations, embankments, abutments, and fills.

•The hydrological investigation, groundwater elevation study, and water supply operations.

•Waste and environmental applications

•Soil improvement & stability and slope stability
