WHAT IS GEOTECHNICAL INSTRUMENTATION?

Geotechnical instrumentation refers to the installation of sensors and monitoring devices within a borehole or at depth to measure ground behavior over time. Instrumentation programs are used to monitor groundwater levels, pore water pressure, lateral ground movement, and slope stability — providing engineers and project owners with the data needed to make informed decisions during and after construction.

MAK Drilling installs and documents instrumentation for geotechnical engineers, environmental consultants, and infrastructure owners across the Midwest.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

• Inclinometer casing installation
• Vibrating wire piezometer installation
• Standpipe piezometer installation

• Monitoring well installation and conversion
• Casing installation and grouting

• Installation documentation and reporting

WHO WE WORK WITH

Instrumentation services support geotechnical engineers designing or managing monitoring programs, environmental consultants tracking groundwater conditions, and infrastructure owners monitoring embankments, slopes, retaining structures, and excavations.

Project owners on sites with active deformation or groundwater management requirements also benefit from real-time data provided by our installations.

INSTRUMENTATION SERVICES ACROSS THE MIDWEST

MAK Drilling installs instrumentation as a standalone service or as part of a larger geotechnical investigation program. Our crews are familiar with the documentation requirements of monitoring programs and install instrumentation in accordance with project specifications and engineer direction.

We operate throughout the Midwest from our base in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
