Stand Pipe Piezometer AIS 201
Standpipe piezometers are used to monitor piezometric water levels. Observation wells are used to monitor ground water levels. Water level readings are typically obtained with a water level indicator. Typical applications include:
- → Monitoring pore-water pressure to determine the stability of slopes, embankments, and landfill dykes.
- → Monitoring of ground improvement techniques such as vertical drains, sand drains, and dynamic compaction.
- → Monitoring dewatering schemes for excavations and underground openings.
- → Monitoring seepage and ground water movement in embankments, landfill dykes, and dams.
- → Monitoring water drawdown during pumping tests.
Specification
Stand pipe Piezometer is made of 50mm dia, 1 meter long perforated section PVC Pipe covered with brash mesh.
The 50mm dia 3 meter long raiser pipe is used to achieve the desired depth of piezometer. Suitable coupling is used to join the raiser pipe to each other.
