Geotechnical instrumentation is a critical part of every construction project as it provides vital information about the in-situ behavior of the ground. Instrumentation methods highly depend on the substratum and groundwater conditions. The instruments utilized are also impacted by the design methods and the compatibility of a project. Slope inclin...
A typical inclinometer consists of 3 parts: i) a probe, ii) a readout device, and iii) a cable. A casing is also used to drive the probe into position and to protect the device from soil and water penetration. The probe is composed of at least one force-balanced accelerometer that measures the inclination of the casing with respect to the vertical ...
Vertical Slope Inclinometers
Vertical slope inclinometers are installed within boreholes which are shafts relatively small in diameter bored in the ground. The borehole should be large enough to accommodate the device’s casing and a pipe from which grout will be inserted. Segments of the casing are placed in the borehole until the desired depth. The casing must be installed 3-6 meters deeper from the point where displacements are expected to be eliminated. Two grooves are then installed carefully in order not to apply to...
Horizontal Slope Inclinometers
The function of a horizontal slope inclinometer is similar to that of the vertical inclinometers. However, they are installed in horizontal boreholes in which either one or both ends attach to the surface of the ground. The grooves must be aligned vertically without any twisting and their perpendicularity is verified during the addition of a new casing segment. Horizontal slope inclinometers are used to derive the vertical movement of the ground.
The inclinometer’s probe is inserted into the casing and its tilt is derived by taking consecutive measurements at every 50 centimeters (the distance between the two wheels inserted). On special occasions, more measurements can be taken in smaller intervals to provide more accurate results. The reading process begins at the base of the casing. The ...

GEOKON, the world leader and manufacturer of inclinometers and slope indicators, also offers a custom design service for your geotechnical monitoring and engineering needs.
The Digitilt inclinometer probe measures tilt in vertical inclinometer casing. Its twin, force-balanced servo-accelerometers, designed and manufactured by Slope Indicator, are known for their durability, high precision, and rapid response. Readings are obtained with the Digitilt DataMate readout.
