Understanding the Lugeon Test
The Lugeon test—also known as the packer test—is a constant head permeability test performed in an isolated section of a borehole. By applying a predefined pressure (typically around 10 bars or 150 psi) and recording water uptake over a 10-minute interval, you obtain vital data on the hydraulic conductivity of the rock mass.
HYDROGEO-io not only computes the basic Lugeon value but also evaluates complex variables such as water flow rate variations during pressure stages. This comprehensive analysis reveals both the standard permeability and the impact of rock discontinuities.
With precise inputs and immediate feedback, our tool empowers you to make informed decisions about rock mass stability and permeability with confidence.
