Long Term Stability

Structural Health Monitoring

These are ideally suited to long-term, precise monitoring of the position of a borehole over its entire length. By making a series of readings over time, it is also possible to monitor the rate of movement.

These are ideally suited to long-term, precise monitoring of the position of a borehole over its entire length. By making a series of readings over time, it is also possible to monitor the rate of movement.

The components of the inclinometer are a plastic casing with four longitudinal grooves cut in the inside wall, and a probe that is lowered down the casing on an electrical cable with graduated depth markings.

The probe contains two mutually aligned accelerometers, to measure the tilt of the probe in mutually perpendicular directions. The probe is also equipped with a pair of wheels that run in the grooves in the casing and maintain the rotational stability of the probe.

Typical applications include:

• Detecting zones of movement and establish whether movement is constant, accelerating, or responding to remedial measures.
• Checking that deformations are within design limits, that struts and anchors are performing as expected, and that adjacent buildings are not affected by ground movements.
• Verifying stability of dams, dam abutments, and upstream slopes during and after impoundment.
