VW PIEZOMETER VWP-3000 SERIES
The VWP-3000 Series of Vibrating Wire piezometers use the well-proven method of converting fluid pressures on a sensitive diaphragm into a frequency signal.
FEATURES
- Reliable long-term performance
- Rugged, suitable for demanding environments
- High accuracy
- Insensitive to long cable lengths
Description
The VWP-3000 Series of Vibrating Wire piezometers use the well-proven method of converting fluid pressures on a sensitive diaphragm into a frequency signal.
Frequency signals are particularly suitable for the demanding environment of Civil Engineering applications, since the signals are capable of long transmission distances without degradation, tolerant of wet wiring conditions and resistant to external electrical noise.
Key applications include measuring pore pressure in soils and rocks and fluid pressures in hydro-fractures and pump tests.
Models in the VWP-3000 range are:
- VWP-3000 (STANDARD) Standard construction with high & low air entry filters to measure groundwater elevations and pore pressures.
- VWP-3310 (STANDARD VENTED) Standard construction but vented to compensate for barometric pressure changes. Available with high & low air entry filters.
- VWP-3100 (HEAVY DUTY) Heavy duty body for direct burial in fills and dam embankments. Available with high & low air entry filters, standard and heavy duty cable.
- VWP-3200 (LOW PRESSURE) Low pressure version to measure groundwater elevations and pore pressures. Available with high & low air entry filters.
- VWP-3300 (LOW PRESSURE VENTED) Low pressure vented version to compensate for barometric pressure changes. Available with high & low air entry filters.
- VWP-3400 (DRIVE-IN) Drive-in version available for use with SPT rods.
- VWP-3401 (DRIVE-IN) Drive-in version available for use with 1” BSP adaptor.

DRIVE-IN PIEZOMETERS WP-3400 & SGP-3500 SERIES
In stock
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.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER VWT-9000 SERIES
In stock
The Geosense® VWT-9000 Series of Pressure Transducers are designed to be connected directly into hydraulic or pneumatic pressure lines by means of a 1/4” BSPF thread. Other thread sizes are available on request.
They are typically used to monitor uplift pressures within dams and to enable manual standpipe piezometers to be upgraded into an automated data acquisition system.
IN-PLACE TILT METER MEMS

TILT BEAM MEMS
In stock
MEMS Tilt Beams are designed for attachment to structures, on either a vertical or horizontal surface, for the measurement of tilt or differential settlement.
They consist of a highly accurate MEMS sensor housed in a fully sealed enclosure which is mounted on a lightweight rigid GRP beam. This can be mounted onto the structure using special anchors. The GRP beam has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion meaning that thermal affects are minimised.
PENDULUM SYSTEM
In stock
HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are used to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line. Each has a tensioned, stainless steel wire and the effects of the earth gravitational forces to guarantee a perfectly vertical line between a fixed point and a tensioning mechanism. Typical applications include concrete dams, bridges and high rise buildings.
IMAGING & CAMERA
In stock
The FlatMesh 4G Camera is a best in class solar powered solution for static imagery in remote or industrial areas.
It contains a monochrome digital camera which can take clear, high quality photographs day or night without the use of external illuminators.
The 4G camera connects to a Senceive EdgeHub (with FlatMesh) unit which provides power and connectivity over the cellular network (2G/3G/4G) or existing wired ethernet networks.
HUMIDITY & CORROSION (CorroDec®2G)

The structural infrastructure must always meet requirements such as performance, stability and durability. These requirements will have a lasting effect on our mobility in the future. The corrosion risk and the corrosion activity of the reinforcing steel largely define these requirements and are determined by various impact and material parameters.
