Tilt measurement
Tilt measurement is a crucial technique to accurately monitor the inclination and movement of structures. At SOCOTEC, we offer professional tilt measurements that help you detect and address stability risks early. This ensures the safety and integrity of your projects.
What is tilt measurement?
Tilt measurement is a method used to determine the inclination or movement of a structure or ground surface. It is an indispensable technique in construction projects, infrastructure, and terrain monitoring, where even slight tilts can pose significant risks.
How does tilt measurement work?
Tilt measurements are performed using advanced sensors such as tiltmeters or inclinometers. These devices detect subtle changes in the angle of an object or surface. By taking measurements regularly, movement trends can be analysed and timely action taken to address structural risks.
Applications of tilt measurement
Tilt measurements are widely used across various sectors:
- Buildings: Monitoring subsidence or tilting.
- Infrastructure: Checking the stability of bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls.
- Construction projects: Measuring the impact of excavation or foundation work.
- Monuments: Preserving historical structures and stability monitoring.
The importance of tilt measurement
Tilt measurements provide valuable information on structural changes often invisible to the naked eye. Early detection of tilting can prevent damage, costly repairs, and safety hazards. Regular tilt monitoring contributes to the safety and sustainability of your project.
