Abstract

Piezometers are instruments that can produce high-quality information if suitable and effective installation and monitoring procedures are followed. In order to minimise errors and optimise quality of the obtained information, we must pay attention when prescribing the type of piezometer and its installation, as highlighted in the ISO/EN18674 standards. The use of piezometers as a geotechnical instrument is a commodity. This paper aims to exemplify how the use of piezometers can be optimised and how the most common errors can be avoided.
