The subsurface consists of several moving layers of soil.
The displacements – which can be of both horizontal and vertical nature – in some cases lead to damage to buildings and infrastructure, such as dikes, roads and transmission lines.
By taking regular slope measurements, we keep a close eye on whether displacements are occurring and the client can intervene in time.
For this purpose, MEET HET offers manual and fully automatic systems.
In manual inclinometer measurements, an expert with manual horizontal or vertical inclinometer equipment comes to the site repeatedly (daily, weekly, by appointment) to take measurements and detect movement.
In addition, MEET HET equally has several fully automated systems, such as in-place inclinometers (IPIs) or Shape AccelArray Field (SAAF/SAAV/SAAX). These measurement sensors remain in the subsurface and perform continuous and unmanned measurements that are transmitted in real time to our servers.
All measurement data are conveniently bundled per project on a self-built online platform, so that the customer can follow this up live at any time.
In addition, with fully automatic monitoring, we set an alarm threshold.
Once a certain threshold is exceeded, all stakeholders are notified via text message, email or siren at the job site. This provides reassurance not only to the contractor, but also to local residents.
