Project Challenge

The dam operator needed a reliable way to observe pore water pressure and seepage-related changes without relying only on periodic site visits. The project required stable instruments, clear data transmission, and support for long-term safety observation.

SoilCreate Solution

SoilCreate supplied piezometer instrumentation and telemetry-ready data acquisition support. The monitoring setup focused on dependable field performance, clear pressure readings, and a practical data workflow for engineering teams responsible for dam safety.

Result

The project gained a more consistent monitoring rhythm, improved visibility into pressure trends, and a stronger basis for routine safety review and maintenance planning.
