Piezometers

The soil consists of several layers with different soil types. Each type of soil has its unique characteristics, resulting in soft, but also more stable soils. Due to the different soils, the permeability of water is also variable. As a result, the water pressure of the groundwater can vary per area and depth. It is very important for building objects to determine and create the right water tension. This prevents the ground and therefore the object from sinking.

By means of electric water pressure gauges the pore water pressure can be determined. These meters are placed and can be read out at certain times. GSNED can take care of these measurements for you.
