Instrumentation is crucial for monitoring the construction of new tunnels and ensuring the long-term performance and safety of existing ones. Durham Geo Slope Indicator manufactures extensometers, pressure cells, inclinometers, and tiltmeters, which are all commonly used to oversee these significant projects.
