Simple manual tool to measure changes in distance between fixed anchor points. Often applied in tunnels, slopes, or excavation sites. Reliable for periodic manual measurement programs.
Instrument used to measure soil or rock pressure against retaining structures or tunnel linings. Helps assess load distribution and safety. Often applied in tunnels, retaining walls, and dams.
Gas leakage sensors detect the presence of hazardous gases in the environment or confined spaces. They provide early warning of leaks, ensuring safety in tunnels, underground works, and construction sites by preventing accidents and health risks.
Sensor measuring horizontal displacement within soil or fill materials. Commonly used for monitoring embankments and ground stability. Data helps evaluate settlement patterns over time.
Virtual Rail Sensors are digital tools that use geospatial and monitoring data to simulate rail alignment. They help detect settlement, track movement, and deformation trends without installing physical devices on the rails.
Beam installed on structures to detect small tilts or settlements, measured by precise leveling methods. Often used in building or retaining wall monitoring where accuracy is critical.
Each instrument type and subtype is defined by its applications, the measurements it provides, monitoring capabilities, and data range. This classification ensures accurate selection for project needs and reliable performance in geotechnical monitoring.
