Precision Instruments for Accurate Results

Inclinometers are used for monitoring lateral movements and deformations in soil, rock and retaining structures.

Available either as Portable or In-place (IPI) devices for the measurement of lateral earth movements in unstable slopes, landslides, dam and roadway embankments, and landfills. They can also be used to measure deflections in the walls of excavations, shafts, tunnels and in caissons, piles and sheet piling. Placement of inclinometers is via specialist high tolerance inclinometer casing which has keyways formed at 90° into the internal surface and allows for their accurate orientation. Data can be viewed in the field using the handheld Android Smart Device which has full graphing facilities or downloaded to a PC.

Used to measure and locate settlement, heave, displacement and deformation in soil and rock.

A wide range including borehole rod, magnetic, and tape type extensometers typically used for monitoring excavations, foundations, dams, embankments, tunnels, shafts and sheet piles.

Data can be obtained using a portable readout or connected into a data logger for automatic monitoring.

For measuring temperature in concrete, soil and rock.

A range of sensors used for measuring temperature in concrete, soil, rock and ice.

Applications include monitoring the heat of hydration during concrete curing and seasonal variations of temperature within the ground and temperature profiles within Geothermal borehole heat exchangers.

For the measurement of pore water pressure & water levels.

A range of piezometers for the measurement of pore water pressure and groundwater levels within soil and rock.

Typically used for understanding initial site condition, determining safe rates for placement of fill, predicting slope stability, designing for lateral earth pressure and evaluating the effectiveness of drainage schemes.

Data can be obtained using a portable readout or connected into a data logger for automatic monitoring.

For automatic data acquisition.

Data loggers provide automatic collection and storage of data from all types of sensor outputs including vibrating wire, analogue and digital and are available as single or multichannel options.

When fitted with additional communication modules they can receive and transmit data allowing remote configuration and data transfer to any location via radio, GSM or GPRS in real time if required.

Simple and economic measurement of groundwater pressures in soil and rock can be carried out using Casagrande type (standpipe) piezometers.
