Device that tracks ground settlement or heave by measuring the position of magnetic rings along a borehole. It helps assess deep ground movement at different soil or rock layers.
Geotechnical instrumentation refers to the use of specialized instruments to monitor soil, rock, and structural behavior during construction and operation. It helps measure parameters like pressure, displacement, and vibration, ensuring safety, quality control, and performance assessment of projects.
Composite Instruments combine multiple sensors in one unit to monitor parameters like displacement, strain, or pressure. Installed in structures or boreholes, they provide integrated data, simplifying measurement and interpretation for geotechnical monitoring.
Survey markers installed inside tunnels to monitor settlement and ground movement over time. These points provide reference data to ensure tunnel safety and structural integrity.
Transparent gauge fixed across a crack to measure relative displacement or widening over time. It is a simple yet reliable tool for tracking crack progression in masonry and concrete structures.
GPS trackers are devices that use satellite signals to monitor and record the real-time position of equipment, vehicles, or structures. In construction, they help track asset location, movement, and site activities for safety and efficiency.
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.
