This webinar introduces Sisgeo’s In-Place Inclinometer systems and provides practical guidance for professionals involved in advanced geotechnical monitoring.
Engineer Julien Prouvot and engineer Giovanni caloni explain the fundamentals of inclinometry and describes how IPIs improve deformation data quality, continuity, and long-term measurement reliability.
The session compares manual inclinometer surveys with automatic systems, highlighting clear advantages in repeatability, stability, and overall monitoring performance.
Participants discover the main Sisgeo solutions, including BH-Profile, MD-Profile, and LT-IncliBus 360°, each designed for specific monitoring applications.
The webinar outlines key mechanical features and installation procedures, focusing on inclinometer casings and the requirements defined by ISO 18674-3.
A dedicated section describes calibration processes, which ensure measurement precision, repeatability, and compliance with international geotechnical monitoring standards.
Julien also presents data integration methods using RS485/Modbus dataloggers, offering practical recommendations for continuous data management in the field.
Several application examples demonstrate the effectiveness of IPIs in deep excavations, landslides, tunnels, dams, and large infrastructure projects worldwide.
These real projects highlight how Sisgeo systems support reliable deformation monitoring strategies, enabling timely interventions and well-informed engineering decisions.
The webinar is an excellent opportunity for professionals seeking deeper technical knowledge and dependable long-term solutions for geotechnical instrumentation.
