Comparison between the performance of pneumatic and electric piezometers in a land reclamation test site

A Test Site was carried out in the Changi East Reclamation Project in the Republic of Singapore consisting of a vertical drain treated sub-area and an adjacent untreated sub-area. Pneumatic piezometers were installed at the same elevations as the electric piezometers in both the sub-areas for comparison purposes. The results of both type of piezometers were compared to analyse their performance in the marine clay at Changi. For the covering abstract see ITRD E125180.
