Geotechnical Instrumentation

Settlement Monitoring

A Precise Level is used to obtain readings from settlement markers to monitor the amount and rate of settlement of a building or ground over a period of time.

Inclinometer Installation & Monitoring

A slope inclinometer is used to detect and monitor the lateral earth movements in embankments and landslide areas, deflections of retaining walls and piles, and deformations of excavation walls, tunnels and shafts. The collected data is plotted graphically to show any lateral movements over a period of time.

The data obtained from Settlement Monitoring and/or Inclinometer monitoring is used to predict impending damage so that remedial work can be carried out before structural failure occurs.
