CRACK GAUGES
Static crack gauges are precision gauges that consist of two plates which overlap for a part of their length. One plate is calibrated in millimeters, while the other plate is transparent... Read More
Digital crack meters are employed in many different geotechnical construction applications to monitor movement in structures along surface cracks. They record and monitor any structural changes... Read More
Vibrating wire (VW) joint meters are used to monitor joints of mass concrete structures. The instrument consists of two parts, a socket and the main body with a waterproof vibrating wire sensing gauge... Read More
EXTENSOMETERS
Stability and movement of soil and rock masses can be determined with the use of borehole extensometers. A typical rod extensometer consists of a reference head, usually installed at the collar of a drill hole... Read More
INCLINOMETERS
In-Place inclinometers (IPI) make use of tilt sensors to take accurate measurements of lateral movement in embankments, landfills, piles, piers, retaining walls and abutments. The sensors are attached... Read More
Inclinometer casing servers as an access tube to guide the installation process. It can be used with all inclinometers to monitor the stability of embankments, slopes, foundations and excavation walls... Read More
PIEZOMETERS
Piezometers are designed to measure fluid pressures, such as ground water elevations and pore pressures, when buried in embankments, fills, inside boreholes, wells and riser pipes. Vibrating Wire (VW)... Read More
Water Level Meters are used for convenient and accurate measurement of elevation of groundwater in boreholes, standpipes and wells. They have a high accuracy, are NIST traceable... Read More
STRAIN GAUGES
Strain Gauges are designed to monitor strain in steel members or concrete structures, including bridges, piles, dams, tunnels and buildings. Vibrating Wire (VW) Strain Gauges can either be welded to a structure... Read More
Load Cells are designed to monitor tensile load in tiebacks, anchors, struts and structure supports. A Vibrating Wire (VW) Load Cells consists of a cylinder of high-strength steel with 3, 4 or 6... Read More
TILT METERS
Tilt meters are used to measure and monitor changes to the inclination and vertical rotation of structures. Unfortunately, there is a myriad of external factors that can affect the tilt of a structure... Read More
In much the same way as tilt meters, tilt sensors are designed to measure tilt in structures including buildings, dams, embankments, slopes, retaining walls and open pits. When connected in a tilt... Read More
