Inclinometer casings are typically used in geotechnical and environmental monitoring applications. These casings house inclinometer probes, which are instruments designed to measure the tilt or slope of the ground at various depths. The information collected helps in monitoring ground stability and assessing potential risks such as landslides or structural instability. Here are some specific use cases for inclinometer casings:

  1. Slope Stability Monitoring: Inclinometer casings are often installed in slopes, embankments, or retaining walls to monitor any changes in inclination. This is crucial for early detection of slope instability, helping to prevent landslides or structural failures.

  2. Tunneling and Excavation: In construction projects involving tunnels or excavations, inclinometer casings can be installed to monitor any ground movement or deformation. This information is valuable for ensuring the safety of structures and workers.

  3. Dam and Dam Foundation Monitoring: Inclinometer casings are employed to monitor the stability of dams and their foundations. Changes in slope or inclination can indicate potential issues with the structure's stability.

  4. Building Foundations: In urban environments, inclinometer casings may be used to monitor the tilt or settlement of building foundations. This helps identify any uneven settling that could compromise the structural integrity of the building.

  5. Infrastructure Monitoring: Inclinometer casings can be utilized to monitor the stability of various infrastructure elements, such as bridges, road embankments, and other critical structures.

The inclinometer casing provides protection to the inclinometer probe, ensuring its accurate measurement over time and in various environmental conditions. The data collected from these systems is critical for early warning and preventive measures in scenarios where changes in slope or inclination can pose risks to infrastructure and safety.



The inclinometer casings can be installed in a borehole, embedded in fill or concrete during construction, or fixed to the face of a completed structure.

INCLINOMETER CASING

Inclinometer casing is a special purpose pipe used in inclinometer installations. It performs three functions:

  • It maintains access for the inclinometer probe, allowing it to obtain subsurface measurements.

  • It controls the orientation of the probe via internal grooves.

  • It conforms to movement of the surrounding ground.

Movement of the ground causes the casing to deform. Eventually, the casing is sheared off or pinched closed. When that happens, the probe can no longer pass through, and no more readings can be obtained. In general, larger diameter casing will offer a longer useful life, because it can accommodate more deformation before access is closed to the probe.

  • 85 mm / 3.34 inch casing is the largest diameter. It is suitable for all uses and especially recommended for landslides and long-term monitoring. It is also appropriate for monitoring multiple shear zones or very narrow shear zones.

  • 70 mm / 2.75 inch casing is suitable for construction projects. It can also be used for slope stability monitoring if only a moderate degree of deformation is expected.

  • 48 mm / 1.9 inch casing is used only deformations are expected to be very small and are distributed over broad zones. It is generally not installed in soils.
