Piezometers

Applications

Typical applications for piezometers are:

Monitoring pore water pressures to determine safe rates of fill or excavation.
Monitoring pore water pressures to evaluate slope stability.
Monitoring dewatering systems used for excavations.
Monitoring ground improvement systems, such as vertical drains and sand drains.
Monitoring pore pressures to check the performance of earthfill dams and embankments.
Monitoring pore pressures to check containment systems at landfills andtailings dams.
