Vibrating Wire Piezometers: Accurate and Reliable Groundwater Monitoring
Installation of Vibrating Wire Piezometers VWP
Correct installation of vibrating wire piezometers (VWPs) is critical for reliable pore water pressure data. At Legion Drilling, we prioritize precise placement, backfill selection, and sealing to eliminate errors and ensure long-term performance. Trust our expertise for high-quality VWP installations tailored to your project’s geotechnical monitoring needs.
Vibrating wire piezometers are essential instruments for measuring pore water pressure in geotechnical and environmental projects. These devices operate by detecting changes in water pressure through the vibration frequency of a tensioned wire. When groundwater pressure acts on a diaphragm connected to the wire, it alters the wire's tension, changing its vibration frequency. This frequency is then converted into electrical signals, providing highly accurate and continuous measurements of groundwater pressure.
