JACKOUT PRESSURE CELL
VWJPC-4500 Jackout Pressure Cells are used to measure active and passive pressures on diaphragm walls during excavation. They are installed within the diaphragm wall cage to monitor pressure on the walls. Any build-up of excessive pressure can be detected in time for remedial measures to be carried out.
The Pressure Cell itself is constructed of two circular, stainless steel plates welded around their periphery. The space between the two plates is filled with an incompressible fluid. A transducer is connected to this space and measures the pressure exerted on the incompressible fluid.
Description
The cell is mounted onto one end of a double acting hydraulic ram via a swivel joint and at the other end is a reaction plate the same diameter as the cell.
The ram and cell assembly is installed into the reinforcement cage with the cell and reaction plate positioned either side of the cage with the ram passing through the reinforcement. It is loosely supported in the cage by tie wires or a prefabricated cradle.
After the reinforcement cage is lowered into the trench the hydraulic jack is hydraulically pressurised forcing the earth pressure cell and reaction plate against the sides of the trench. The hydraulic pressure is increased to ensure good embedment into the trench wall. The ram pressure is maintained throughout the pouring and curing of the concrete.
A vibrating wire piezometer can also be incorporated to measure pore water pressure.

BOREHOLE ROD EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The Geosense® GEO-XB2 borehole rod type extensometer range is used to measure and locate settlement, displacement and deformation in soil and rock.
It consists of a reference head and one or more in-hole anchors each of which is placed at a known depth and connected to the reference head by either a rigid or flexible rod running inside a flexible sleeve, which keeps the rod de-bonded from the grout.
DRIVE-IN PIEZOMETERS WP-3400 & SGP-3500 SERIES
In stock
Drive-in piezometers, also referred to as push-in piezometers, are designed for installing in soft clays, organic or fine grained cohesionless soils typically with a SPT-N value less than 10. They are available with a CPT fitting or 1” BSP thread.
Depending on the depth and type of soil, they can either be pushed directly into the soil from ground level to the required depth or pushed into the base of a CPT test or drilled borehole.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER VWT-9000 SERIES
In stock
The Geosense® VWT-9000 Series of Pressure Transducers are designed to be connected directly into hydraulic or pneumatic pressure lines by means of a 1/4” BSPF thread. Other thread sizes are available on request.
They are typically used to monitor uplift pressures within dams and to enable manual standpipe piezometers to be upgraded into an automated data acquisition system.

HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are used to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line. Each has a tensioned, stainless steel wire and the effects of the earth gravitational forces to guarantee a perfectly vertical line between a fixed point and a tensioning mechanism. Typical applications include concrete dams, bridges and high rise buildings.
HUMIDITY & CORROSION (CorroDec®2G)
In stock
The structural infrastructure must always meet requirements such as performance, stability and durability. These requirements will have a lasting effect on our mobility in the future. The corrosion risk and the corrosion activity of the reinforcing steel largely define these requirements and are determined by various impact and material parameters.
MAGNETIC EXTENSOMETER GXM RANGE
In stock
The GEO-XM settlement system is a magnet extensometer system used typically to monitor settlement and heave in foundations, excavations and embankments.
Data received identifies the depth and position where settlement has occurred as well as the total amount of settlement.
It can also be installed behind retaining structures, such as sheet piles and slurry walls, and above underground openings, such as tunnels and shafts.
