Coverage
Geographical coverage:
Near Wormleighton, north of Banbury, England
Geospatial point:
Latitude 52.187° Longitude 1.339°
Documentation
Data collection method:
Vibrating wire piezometers and GeO flushable piezometers were installed using the fully grouted method and maintained at Boddington by a contractor, to inform the design of earthworks for the HS2 railway.
Data processing and preparation activities:
The measurements have been adjusted for changes in atmospheric pressure.
Technical details and requirements:
The data are stored as .csv.
Additional information:
These measurements are from a limited number of piezometers installed at Boddington and do not represent the full number of measurements undertaken at Boddington for HS2. They were located below the excavation level of the trial cutting (i.e., below 123 m AOD) and beneath the centre of the trial embankment (i.e., below the original ground surface at 122 m AOD). Piezometers that malfunctioned are not included in this dataset.
