The automatic settlement measuring device is used for monitoring the movements of road and railway structures, for example. The measuring device is also suitable for monitoring the condition of building foundations, landfills, dams, and other structures. A typical application is to monitor the behaviour of the footing of surrounding buildings at excavation site – a sensor can be attached to each corner of a building.
Measuring device
For measuring settlements, FinMeas delivers measuring devices which contain precise pressure sensors connected to a long fluid hose. The fluid hose measuring device can be hundreds of metres long, and the interval between sensors can be dozens of metres. The measuring device can be installed under ground or directly to the structure. The central processing unit of this device transfers the measurement data automatically to FinMeas Online, that provides you with an easy access to up-to-date measurement data from any device.
