. Installation of shallow sand‐packed piezometers in auger holes with caving saturated sands in the Great Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina was greatly facilitated by freezing the piezometer and sand pack together. The frozen unit made it possible to install up to three wells per day with little difficulty.
