Strain Gauges

Vibrating wire strain gauges are widely used in structural and geotechnical monitoring to measure the strains and deformation of various components of a structure. Vibrating wire strain gauges offer several advantages, one of the most important being their durability. Due to the vibrating wire technology, VW strain gauges are robust and durable, which makes them […]

Crackmeters and joint meters

Crackmeters and joint meters are devices used in structural monitoring to measure cracks and joint movements in buildings, tunnels, bridges, dams, and other structures. These instruments provide information about the behaviour and stability of the monitored structure over time. Both crackmeters and joint meters play an important role in structural health monitoring (SHM) and assessment. […]

Extensometers

Extensometers are instruments used in geotechnical monitoring to measure the deformation or displacement of soil, rock, or other materials under various loads or conditions. They provide valuable data for assessing the behaviour and stability of structures, such as tunnels, buildings, bridges, slopes, and retaining walls. One of the most important application of extensometers is the […]

Settlement gauges

Settlement monitoring is essential for assessing possible problems and for managing risks associated with ground displacement on surface or underground constructions. Settlement gauges are designed to be installed under foundations, on buildings or inside embankments or dams. Sisgeo provides some accessories for topographic monitoring related to settlement measurements, such as targets or mini-prisms. For settlement […]

Load cells

Load cells play a critical role in assessing the performance, safety, and reliability of structures and geotechnical systems by measuring and monitoring loads and forces accurately. Load cells are commonly used to monitor the load applied to anchor rods, the load applied to piles or struts, and for measuring the force distribution in steel lining […]

Pressure cells

Pressure cells essentially consist of a pressure pad filled with deaerated oil, connected to a pressure transducer with a hydraulic tube. The size and shape of the pressure pad must be chosen according to the application, the expected pressure, the size of the structure in which it will be installed and the method of installation. […]

Tiltmeters

Tiltmeters are instruments used to measure the tilt or angular displacement of a surface or object. They are commonly used in geotechnical monitoring, structural monitoring, SHM and various other applications where monitoring changes in inclination is important. More on this topic Tiltmeters are designed to detect even small changes in inclination, providing valuable data for […]

IPI In-Place Inclinometers

IPI (In-Place Inclinometer) is a type of inclinometer system used in geotechnical monitoring when a high frequency of inclinometer tube readings and automatic data acquisition is required. IPI probes are specifically designed to measure lateral displacement or deformation of soil or rock masses in various geotechnical applications. IPI systems are composed by a string of […]

B.R.A.IN MEMS probe inclinometer

The BRAIN inclinometer system is a device used to measure the displacement in ground or under structures. It is particularly useful in assessing the stability of slopes, embankments, retaining walls, and other structures that are susceptible to movements or deformations. By measuring the change in inclination over time, inclinometers provide valuable data for analysing the […]

Sakhalin-2 project Russia

The Sakhalin II project is an oil and gas development project on Sakhalin Island and immediately offshore, in the Sea of Okhotsk, from two fields: Piltun-Astokhskoye and Lunskoye. Piltun-Astokhskoye is primarily an oil field, and Lunskoye is primarily a gas field. The project has been met with heavy criticism over the potential environmental impact, which […]
