Essential tools for your solution or service.



Vibrating Wire Piezometer

Pore water pressure is measured in soil, earth/rock fill foundation, and concrete structures using a vibrating wire piezometer. The level and pattern of groundwater flow is determined by measuring the pore water pressure. It is also used to find out how water flows in soil/rock heaps & concrete dams, as well as the carrying capacity of soil or rock.


Inclinometer

An inclinometer (or clinometer), is an instrument used to measure the angle of inclination/tilt and elevation/depression of an object with respect to gravity. The resulting measurement is given an angular measurement (degrees, minutes, seconds, etc.) or as a percentage with reference to the zero level field.


Settlement Plate

Settlement Plate is a tool commonly used for making slope embankments, excavations and measuring land subsidence. In addition, this tool can also be used to monitor the settlement of foundations on bridges, towers, high-rise buildings and towers.



Extensometers

An extensometer is a high-precision instrument used by geologists and civil engineers to determine the length of material under pressure. This device is ideal for tensile tests. It can also calculate, among others, yield strength, tensile strength, yield point elongation, strain hardening exponent, and strain ratio.


Strain Gauges

Strain gauge is a type of electrical sensor. Its main use is to measure force or strain. The resistance of a strain gauge changes when a force is applied and this change will give a different electrical output. Strain gauges use this method to measure pressure, force, weight and stress.


AWLR

Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR) is an automatic way to measure the water level using a device mounted on a river water level monitoring post. AWLR can measure the water level continuously with the measurement results in the form of a hydrograph.



Data Logger

Data Loggers offer flexible communication options, including direct connections via Ethernet or USB cables, as well as wireless connectivity through Wi-Fi, radio, cellular, or satellite modems. With wired connections, data can be collected and analyzed in real-time, while wireless options provide near real-time data collection and greater flexibility.


VW Settlement Systems

Settlement systems are used to monitor changes in the ground surface and subsurface in terms of settlement and heave or to monitor the efficiency of preconsolidation of soft soil formations. Any major construction is vulnerable to shifts and changes in the earth below.


Pressure Cell

Used to measure total pressure in soils, rock and concrete and at the interface between soil and natural or concrete abutment structures, as well as on foundation contacts. The knowledge of total pressure, in addition to pore pressure and deformations, is an essential component for the complete understanding of ground behaviour as well as the calibration of numerical models.
