Overview

oSIST prEN ISO 22282-6:2008 provides standardized methods for conducting water permeability tests in boreholes using packer systems and pulse-litre stimulation. Developed under the guidance of CEN/TC 341 and ISO/TC 182, this standard supports geotechnical investigation and testing in civil engineering, specifically focusing on the geohydraulic properties of soils and rocks both above and below the groundwater table.

The standard outlines procedures for closed-system water permeability testing to determine important subsurface parameters such as the permeability coefficient (k), transmissivity (T), and storage coefficient (S). These values are essential for understanding groundwater flow, evaluating soil and rock properties, and supporting effective foundation construction and underground engineering projects.

Key Topics

  • Test Principle: The standard details a process based on a sudden hydraulic head change within a sealed test section in a borehole, produced via pressure pulse. The recovery of the hydraulic head over time is recorded and analyzed.

  • Equipment Requirements: Key components include:

    • Water injection or removal system (pump or pressure source)
    • Single or double packer assemblies
    • Pressure measuring and recording devices
    • Data acquisition system
    • Sealing valves and associated piping
  • Test Procedures:

    • Installation of test equipment in boreholes of any orientation and diameter
    • Procedures for tests below and above the groundwater table, including pre-saturation for unsaturated soils
    • Controlled application of pressure pulses with careful recording of pressure and volume changes
    • Methods for monitoring and recording system compressibility and pressure dissipation over time
  • Test Reporting: The standard mandates comprehensive documentation, including a detailed field report, installation records, calibration data, and full records of all measurements and calculated results. Reports must be clear and reproducible for third-party verification.

Applications

Water permeability tests using packer and pulse-litre stimulation, as specified in ISO 22282-6, are critical for:

  • Geotechnical Design and Investigation: Test results inform subsurface modelling and risk assessment for structures such as tunnels, foundations, dams, and retaining walls.
  • Groundwater Resources Management: Determining permeability and storage properties of aquifers supports sustainable extraction and protection of water resources.
  • Environmental Site Assessment: Understanding the transport of contaminants through soil and rock layers via permeability characterization.
  • Infrastructure and Construction Projects: Assessing ground conditions to ensure proper selection of construction methods and materials, while minimizing risks related to groundwater flow and soil instability.

Related Standards

  • EN 1997-1 (Eurocode 7 – Part 1): General rules for geotechnical design.
  • EN 1997-2 (Eurocode 7 – Part 2): Ground investigation and testing procedures.
  • EN ISO 14688-1: Identification and classification of soils.
  • EN ISO 14689-1: Identification and classification of rocks.
  • EN ISO 22475-1: Sampling methods and groundwater measurements.
  • prEN ISO 22282-1 to 22282-5: Series on geohydraulic testing methods, including open-system permeability tests, water pressure tests in rock, pumping tests, and infiltrometer tests.

Practical Value

Implementing oSIST prEN ISO 22282-6:2008 ensures:

  • Consistent and reliable assessment of hydrogeological parameters in diverse geological settings
  • Compliance with recognized international best practices for geotechnical investigations
  • Improved quality of geotechnical data for design, construction, and risk management in projects involving earthworks, foundation construction, and underground works

Adopting this standard supports accurate, reproducible, and comparable geotechnical test results across engineering projects and jurisdictions.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 22282-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 182, Geotechnics, Subcommittee SC 1,
Geotechnical investigation and testing and by Technical Committee CEN/TC 341, Geotechnical investigation
and testing in collaboration.
ISO 22282 consists of the following parts, under the general title Geotechnical investigation and testing —
Geohydraulic testing:
⎯ Part 1: General rules
⎯ Part 2: Water permeability tests in a borehole using open systems
⎯ Part 3: Water pressure test in rock
⎯ Part 4: Pumping tests
⎯ Part 5: Infiltrometer tests

1 Scope
This standard specifies requirements for the determination of the local permeability in soils and rocks below or
above the ground water table in a closed system by the water permeability tests as part of the geotechnical
investigation services according to EN 1997-1 and prEN 1997-2.

The tests are used to determine the permeability coefficient k in low permeable soil and rock lower than 10
m/s. It can also be used to determine the transmissivity T and the storage coefficient S.
NOTE The water pressure test in rock is covered by ISO 22282-3.
