Overview

Groundwater Level Measurement Systems

Talk to Our Experts

Standpipe and Casagrande Piezometers are essential tools in geotechnical and environmental monitoring, enabling the accurate assessment of groundwater levels and pore water pressures over time. These devices are widely used in the analysis of seepage, slope stability, and foundation behavior in both natural and man-made structures. Ideal for long-term monitoring in embankments, dams, tunnels, and excavation sites, they help engineers ensure structural integrity and environmental safety.Used across infrastructure, mining, and water resource projects, these piezometers deliver precise measurements manually or via dataloggers and telemetry systems. At Geotechnical Monitoring Tools, we serve a wide range of industries throughout North America with reliable instrumentation backed by trusted service and expert guidance. As a B2B provider, we combine innovative hardware, scalable integrations, and quality support to meet complex monitoring demands.

Get Compliance Support

U.S. Army Corps Dam Safety Program (Missouri)

Standpipe piezometers were deployed in an earthen dam to monitor seasonal pore water pressure fluctuations, contributing to the dam’s successful risk assessment and rehabilitation planning.

Interstate Highway Retaining Wall Project (Colorado)

Casagrande piezometers provided accurate pore pressure data behind a tall retaining wall during a major road expansion. Data was used to confirm drainage effectiveness and prevent structural movement.

Oil Sands Tailings Management (Alberta, Canada)

Installed across tailings embankments, piezometers tracked pore pressure variations as part of environmental compliance and geotechnical performance evaluation for ongoing reclamation work.
