3D Settlement With Inclination Monitoring System

The Encardio Rite EAN-61MS 3D settlement with inclination monitoring with settlement (IPIS) system is used to measure and monitor borewell or structural movement. This includes where settlement/heave is to be monitored. With application in the lateral and settlement measurement in soil, earthworks, slopes or structures or retaining/diaphragm walls, embankment, deep foundations or dams. Furthermore the in-place 3D settlement with inclination monitoring with settlement (IPIS) system can help monitor landslide areas. The IPIS system can also provide deformation pattern, zones of potential danger and effectiveness of construction control measures. With data logging and real-time monitoring the system can help provide early warning in case of failures. Furthermore, IPIS system consists of a string of probes positioned inside the inclinometer casing in a continuous array to span the movement zone. Each probe comprises high accuracy biaxial MEMS sensor which monitors inclination or lateral movement (X-Y), alongside a contactless magnetic sensor which monitors settlement or heave (vertical movement-Z), housed in a waterproof stainless steel enclosure. These sensors measure the tilt and settlement in successive segments to accurately monitor a change in the profile (x-y-z) of the inclinometer casing. The real advantage of the IPIS system is that it allows online monitoring of transverse movement as well as settlement using the same borehole/gagewell. This was not possible until now using presently available instruments.
