Reliable insight into groundwater levels
Insight into groundwater levels is essential for environmental research, soil investigation, and remediation projects. Changes in water levels can affect the spread of contaminants, the effectiveness of remediation measures, and the interpretation of research results.
Normec performs accurate water level measurements in observation wells, monitoring wells, and other measurement locations. Using manual measurements or automated monitoring, we map groundwater levels and their trends, providing you with reliable data for reports, permits, and environmental assessments.
Manual water level measurements
To quickly and accurately determine the water level, our specialists use dip meters. We use these to measure the groundwater level on-site and gain immediate insight into the current situation.
Manual measurements are suitable for periodic checks, soil investigations, and projects where a snapshot of the groundwater level is sufficient.
Continuous monitoring with data loggers
When insight is needed into fluctuations in groundwater levels over a longer period, we use data loggers, also known as divers. This equipment automatically records water levels at preset intervals.
Continuous monitoring provides a detailed picture of changes in the groundwater system. This supports, among other things, environmental research, groundwater remediation, construction projects, and hydrological studies.
Measurement of floating layers
In cases of soil and groundwater contamination, substances such as oil, diesel, or gasoline may be present as a floating layer on the groundwater. The presence and thickness of these floating layers provide important information about the nature and extent of contamination.
Normec accurately measures the thickness of floating layers in monitoring wells and monitoring systems. This data aids in risk analyses, monitoring programs, and the evaluation of remediation measures.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
A water level measurement determines the height of the groundwater in a monitoring well or monitoring system. This data is used for soil investigation, environmental monitoring, and remediation projects.
-
A diver is a data logger that automatically records water levels. This allows groundwater levels to be continuously monitored over an extended period of time.
-
Groundwater monitoring is often used in soil investigations, remediation projects, construction projects, and environmental studies where insight into groundwater levels is important.
-
A floating layer is a layer of contaminant, such as oil or fuel, that floats on the groundwater. The thickness of this layer provides insight into the severity and extent of contamination.
