Design Your Multilevel System

A Waterloo System to Suit Your Application

Your Waterloo System can be designed to suit your unique application and site requirements.

Each design can be based on your:

  • Drilling method
  • Zones of interest
  • Preferred monitoring methods
  • Cost considerations
  • Borehole depth, diameter and type
  • Site geology

Your system can be designed to suit the size and depth of your borehole, whether there is casing present or not. You can decide on the number of zones to be monitored and the depth these zones will be placed. Select your preferred monitoring options, and any special materials that you may require.

During development of your plans, the Solinst technical staff will be pleased to help review the options and customize a Waterloo System that best suits your needs. Below are four examples of installations that may apply to your project:
