Understanding groundwater behaviour is one of the most important aspects of geotechnical engineering, especially in Singapore’s complex soil conditions. Rising groundwater can destabilize excavations, increase pore water pressure, cause basal heave, and impact nearby structures. Pro-Tec Geosystems Pte Ltd provides accurate and professional Water Standpipe Monitoring services, ensuring safe construction, regulatory compliance, and informed engineering decisions.
As a trusted provider of Geotechnical Instrumentation & Monitoring, we deliver complete Water Standpipe Instrumentation, installation, and reporting solutions for contractors, consultants, and developers across Singapore.
A Water Standpipe, also known as a standpipe piezometer, is a simple but highly effective geotechnical instrument used to determine groundwater levels and monitor variations in the water table. It consists of a slotted PVC pipe installed into a borehole, surrounded by a sand filter and sealed with bentonite to create an isolated monitoring zone.
To detect changes in groundwater that may affect ERSS stability or cause uplift.
Used to evaluate pore wat er pressure behind retaining walls or diaphragm walls.
Essential for verifying groundwater draw down and preventing inflow issues.
High groundwater pressures may cause slope failure or ground movement.
To track consolidation and groundwater rebound.
Ensures dewatering pumps achieve required drawdown levels.
We use calibrated dip meters and follow strict monitoring protocols to ensure reading accuracy and consistency.
We deliver full Water Standpipe Instrumentation solutions - from installation to long - term monitoring.
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly readings depending on construction risk level and consultant requirements.
Quick turnaround ensures no d elays in excavation progress, inspections, or authority submissions.
We design standpipe layouts, borehole depths, and reading schedules based on site - specific ground conditions.
All monitoring follows local and international geotechnical requirements, including:
Our monitoring can be paired with:
This ensures full project-wide geotechnical visibility.
We work closely with contractors, consultants, and developers to deliver precise, dependable, and compliant groundwater monitoring data-ensuring safe and successful project execution.
Our water standpipe monitoring systems have been successfully deployed across MRT, piling, slope, and basement projects throughout Singapore. We work closely with contractors, consultants, and developers to deliver reliable, compliant, and efficient groundwater monitoring.
