PiezometerDrilling
Piezometer drilling and installation creates a dedicated point for monitoring groundwater head or pressure. It can support hydrogeological investigations, construction monitoring, and projects where groundwater behaviour is important.
What Piezometer Drilling Involves
A piezometer is a monitoring installation used to measure groundwater level or hydraulic pressure at a defined depth. Unlike a production borehole, its primary purpose is observation and measurement at specific depths.
The installation begins with understanding the geology and the monitoring objective. Drilling depth, screened interval and installation details should suit the formation and the groundwater zone being monitored.
Piezometers are useful where groundwater behaviour matters to a project. They can support hydrogeological investigations and monitoring around construction or other works where groundwater levels or pressure need to be understood.
- Monitoring points designed around the target groundwater zone
- Installation informed by site geology and the monitoring objective
- A dedicated point for repeat groundwater-level or pressure observations
Good groundwater monitoring starts with a monitoring point designed for the question the project needs to answer.
Why it matters
Measure groundwater levels and pressure with a purpose-built monitoring point. Every job is scoped to your land, your geology, and your budget — no guesswork, no oversized quotes.
How we deliver piezometer drilling
Define the Monitoring Need
We review the site, geology and project objective to identify what groundwater condition needs to be measured and at what depth.
Drill & Install
The borehole is drilled to the required monitoring interval and the piezometer installation is completed to suit the target zone and site conditions.
Prepare for Monitoring
The installation is finished so groundwater levels or pressure can be measured consistently as the project progresses.
What you gain
Groundwater Monitoring
Create a dedicated point for observing groundwater conditions over time.
Targeted Depth
Focus measurements on the groundwater zone relevant to the investigation.
Site-Specific Design
Installation details are considered against local geology and project needs.
Useful Project Data
Support decisions that depend on changing groundwater levels or pressure.
