BDA Webinar – Vibrating Wire Piezometers and IPIs: The Modern Frontier of Monitoring Within the Ground Investigation Industry, or is it?

June 23, 2025

The British Drilling Association (BDA) is pleased to announce the next webinar in its 2025 series, titled “Vibrating Wire Piezometers and IPIs: The Modern Frontier of Monitoring Within the Ground Investigation Industry, or is it?”, scheduled for 25^th September at 1:00 PM.

Presented by Tim Clegg, lead of the AGS Instrumentation & Monitoring Working Group, this session will explore how geotechnical monitoring has evolved over the past 15 years and ask whether its foundational principles have truly changed.

Monitoring is increasingly prevalent on projects across the UK and globally, with automation playing a bigger role. But are we witnessing a true transformation, or simply an evolution in how established methods are applied?

The presentation will cover:

• The foundation of geotechnical monitoring – answering a geotechnical question
• What’s changed? What hasn’t?
• Manual vs automated systems
• New installations vs retrofits
• Remote monitoring – it’s easier than you think
• The rise of data-driven decision making
• A forward look at trends in the GI monitoring space
• A call for industry feedback

This webinar is essential for geotechnical engineers, contractors, consultants and anyone involved in instrumentation and monitoring.
