Piezometer
Know exactly what the water is doing, years after installation
BEAM-PZ (standard) · BEAM-PZV (vented)
Pore-water pressure is the quiet force behind slope failures, dam incidents and excavation problems. The Ackcio VW Piezometer measures it directly in a borehole, dam, standpipe or fill, then keeps the record moving wirelessly.
One pressure question. Four clear answers.
Use this compact pathway as the model for how each sensor page should move from the field condition to the reading a team can act on.
Pore-water pressure in the ground, structure or vessel.
Built-in temperature sensing supports long-term readings.
BEAM-VW-S1 or S8 carries the frequency wirelessly.
Snape shows kPa or metres head with trends and alerts.
Built for the harshest ground, sealed for the long haul
BEAM-PZ is designed for hydraulic structures and bedrock, or for installation in piezometer tubes, boreholes, dams, pipelines and pressure vessels to measure pore-water pressure or liquid level.
A sintered stainless-steel filter and built-in thermistor support long-term monitoring where the installation needs to stay stable and readable for the life of the project.
Built for the places where change matters.
Use the sensor where you need a stable, long-term view of the parameter at risk.
Install once. Keep reading.
Connect the sensor to an Ackcio VW node via BEAM-CA screened cable. In a borehole, the piezometer sits in a sand pocket sealed with bentonite; in fill or concrete it is placed and protected during construction.
Designed for the long read.
- Long-term stability
- Built-in temperature sensor
- Reliable data over long cable runs
- Good sealing
- Customisable pressure ranges
- Built-in lightning protection

The instrument is only the beginning.
Connect the sensor to an Ackcio BEAM-VW node and carry the measurement through Mesh to the monitoring view.
A single piezometer pairs naturally with BEAM-VW-S1. Clusters of piezometers at one location can be grouped on BEAM-VW-S8.

Readings arrive in the Snape dashboard as live time-series data in kPa or metres head. Check network health, node status and threshold conditions from the same view.
Specify the detail that matters.
BEAM-PZ-XX is the standard model; BEAM-PZV-XX is the vented model for applications needing barometric compensation.
