Advanced Piezometer Systems for Accurate Groundwater Monitoring
Soil Ground Testing delivers high-performance piezometers for geotechnical, environmental, and construction applications across North America.
Piezometers:
Precision Groundwater Monitoring for Safer Projects
Piezometers are critical instruments for measuring pore water pressure and groundwater levels in soils, rock, and embankments. They are widely used in geotechnical, hydrological, and environmental applications to assess soil stability, seepage, and structural integrity. By accurately capturing subsurface pressure data, piezometers help prevent failures in dams, tunnels, retaining walls, and foundations.
Soil Ground Testing offers a broad portfolio of piezometer technologies designed for precision, durability, and integration with digital monitoring systems. As a North American B2B company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, we serve engineering firms, contractors, researchers, and infrastructure managers with reliable, scalable solutions. Through a commitment to quality, technical support, and innovative partnerships, we help you unlock smarter and safer ground monitoring capabilities.
