The GEOSTRING In-Place Inclinometer System comprises several sensors arrayed vertically within inclinometer casings or 40mm PVC pipes. It is designed to measure slopes in soils, rocks, diaphragm walls, retaining walls, dam faces, and other structures, effectively detecting vertical, inclined, or horizontal movements.
Typically, the casing is installed in a vertical borehole that passes through a zone suspected of movement. For continuous monitoring along the well, metal probes can be interconnected using special fixtures to form arrays at intervals of 0.5 m (metric version) or in various lengths, ensuring flexibility and comprehensive coverage. Each probe can move independently, allowing for displacement readings throughout the entire length of the borehole. All probes are connected in series, and data is transmitted via a single cable, enhancing the efficiency of data collection. The entire system is resistant to high-pressure water, making it suitable for challenging environments.
Real-time monitoring with the GEOSTRING in-place inclinometers enables the creation of data collection stations. Furthermore, the system’s modular design allows for disassembly and reuse in other projects, promoting sustainability and cost-efficiency.
