The following photographs show the steps involved in backflling with
sand:
Procedure
To install a sensor at the boiom of a borehole of known depth using
sand backflling:
1. Measure or calculate the physical volume of the unit which is to
be installed in the borehole. (The volume of a cylinder
v = πr
2
h
.)
Also measure the internal diameter of the borehole.
2. Measure and pour in a sufcient q u antity o f s a nd t o f l l th e
borehole to a depth of around 300mm.
3. Connect the signal cable to the connector on top of the sensor.
Ensure that the “O”-rings inside the housing are clean, and
tighten the knurled connector nut to its end stop.
