The traditional glue and rivet style Standard Casing provides a stronger joint for deeper installations, and the economical EPIC Casing, which was designed for use in incremental fills and embankments. Quick-Connect (QC) casing offers precision grooves and self-sealing joints, and is our most popular style. The company offers a variety of custom casing styles. Selecting the correct type and size of casing is a tough decision and DGSI will happily advise clients on the appropriate type and size of casing, taking into account important factors such as casing diameter, groove shape, and coupling style. The casing’s grooves control the sensor’s orientation, providing a steady, uniform surface for measurements. The casing is essentially a specially designed pipe that conforms to the movement of the surrounding ground. Robust casing for precise measurement systemsĭGSI inclinometers comprise of both a casing and a measurement system. It is ideal for data logging and real-time, remote monitoring for critical applications such as construction control. The in-place inclinometer employs a fixed chain of sensors, and does not require an on-site operator.
The company offers both manual traversing inclinometers and in-place inclinometers, a real-time alternative to the traversing probe type of inclinometer. The company designs, manufactures and supplies instrumentation to a range of geotechnical and environmental professionals.Īdditionally, DGSI offers training, technical support, repair, calibration and rental services (within the United States) for their products.ĭesigned to measure deformations and movements below the surface, inclinometers are typically used to detect the direction, magnitude and elevation of a failure plane and to verify the stability of dams and dam abutments.
