DRIVE-IN PIEZOMETERS WP-3400 & SGP-3500 SERIES
Drive-in piezometers, also referred to as push-in piezometers, are designed for installing in soft clays, organic or fine grained cohesionless soils typically with a SPT-N value less than 10. They are available with a CPT fitting or 1” BSP thread.
Depending on the depth and type of soil, they can either be pushed directly into the soil from ground level to the required depth or pushed into the base of a CPT test or drilled borehole.
Description
Installation is carried out by using CPT or conventional drill rods onto which is fitted a special adaptor that fits onto the top of the piezometer allowing it to be pushed to depth and the rods retrieved. Adaptors are available to suit most sizes and thread types of rods used for Cone Penetrometer Testing including R32 and reverse threads.
Alternatively 1” BSP galvanised pipe connected directly onto the top of a piezometer with a 1” BSP thread can be used and is sometimes used as a sacrificial pipe left within the borehole.

IPX IN-PLACE EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The In-Place Extensometer (IPX) offers automated monitoring of standard magnetic extensometer installations. The system is designed for a simple, adaptable installation with a single cable connection at the top of the borehole. Its large measurement range accommodates large levels of settlement or heave, and ease of adjustment means it can be reconfigured for changed site conditions such as embankment filling or cutting.
BOREHOLE ROD EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The Geosense® GEO-XB2 borehole rod type extensometer range is used to measure and locate settlement, displacement and deformation in soil and rock.
It consists of a reference head and one or more in-hole anchors each of which is placed at a known depth and connected to the reference head by either a rigid or flexible rod running inside a flexible sleeve, which keeps the rod de-bonded from the grout.
