Inclinometers

An inclinometer is used to monitor subsurface movements and deformations. Typical applications for inclinometers include detecting zones of movement, checking deformations that are within design limits, verifying stability of dams, and monitoring settlement profiles of embankments, foundations, and other structures. An inclinometer system has two components: (1) inclinometer casing and (2) an inclinometer measurement system.
