WP-3400 & SGP-3500 Drive in Piezometers

The VWP-3400 Series Drive-In Piezometer is designed for efficient, direct measurement of pore water pressure in soil and rock.

Its unique design allows for direct installation using a high-strength drive cone, eliminating the need for boreholes and simplifying deployment in challenging or confined environments.

This makes it particularly suitable for rapid, cost-effective geotechnical monitoring.

Using vibrating wire technology, the piezometer converts pressure changes into frequency signals to provide accurate and stable measurements.

With a robust stainless steel body, the VWP-3400 is highly durable and performs reliably in saturated soils and high-pressure conditions. Other features include:

  • Pressure range of 100 kPa to 3.5 MPa
  • Temperature range of -20 to +80°C
  • Accuracy of <0.1% FS

The piezometer is lightweight and compact which allows for straightforward installation. Its compatibility with industry-standard data loggers creates seamless integration into monitoring systems, supporting real-time data collection and analysis.

The VWP-3400 Series are practical and reliable solutions for geotechnical projects requiring quick installation and accurate long-term monitoring of pore water pressure. The data they retrieve supports informed decision making to ensure the safety and stability of your site.

Designed for rapid deployment, the VWP-3400 series is ideal for Monitel’s tailored monitoring solutions.

The range is particularly suited to environments with soft clays or fine gained cohesionless soils. This includes applications such as embankment stability, tailings dams and ground improvement monitoring. Depending on the site requirements, the mode of operation and attachments can be changed to maximise efficiency.
