INCLINOMETER DATA
APPLICATION:Is used to measure rock stress changes and is designed to the grouted inside a borehole. The BPC is manufactured from two steel plates weled together around their periphery.

APPLICATION:Consists of a series of vessels containing liquid level sensors interconnected by a liquid filled tube. A reference vessel is positioned at a stable bench mark location with additional vessels positioned at different location at approximately the same elevation. The differential settlement or heave between any vessel and the reference vessel results in an apparent rise or fall of the liquid level in that vessel.
