TELL-TALE CRACK METER
Tell-Tales are precision gauges that consist of two plates which overlap for part of their length. The bottom plate is calibrated in millimetres and the top plate is transparent and marked with a hairline cursor in the form of a cross.
Description
Tell-Tales are precision gauges that consist of two plates which overlap for part of their length. The bottom plate is calibrated in millimetres and the top plate is transparent and marked with a hairline cursor in the form of a cross.
They are manufactured in vandal resistant polycarbonate. The coefficient of linear thermal expansion is 7.0 x 10-5cm/cm/ºC for ambient temperatures between -30ºC to +30ºC. They are manufactured to conform to BS EN ISO 9001:2015.
The Tell-Tale is fixed across the crack using screws and plugs and/or adhesive. It can be used across cracks in vertical or horizontal directions on flat surfaces.
The Tell-Tale is preset at zero with transparent tape. The tape is cut after the Tell-Tale is fixed across the crack.
As the crack opens, or closes, the cursor moves relative to the calibration scale. The opening or closing of the crack is then recorded on a crack record sheet.

IPX IN-PLACE EXTENSOMETER
In stock
The In-Place Extensometer (IPX) offers automated monitoring of standard magnetic extensometer installations. The system is designed for a simple, adaptable installation with a single cable connection at the top of the borehole. Its large measurement range accommodates large levels of settlement or heave, and ease of adjustment means it can be reconfigured for changed site conditions such as embankment filling or cutting.
STRAIN GAUGE PIEZOMETER SGP-3400 SERIES
In stock
The SGP-3400 Series of strain gauge piezometers are designed for monitoring soil pore pressure or changes in water level and are also suitable for dynamic monitoring such as pumping tests.
They are accurate, highly-reliable and suitable for use in the harsh environments often found within civil engineering including water wells, boreholes, dams, reservoirs, rivers, tanks or any other body of water.
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.
NANO TRIAXIAL TILT SENSOR
In stock
The Nano range uses the same core platform as our other tilt sensors, so it can deliver a similar level of performance and reliability, all in a small and robust enclosure. Nanos have been successfully used in many applications, including:
- Tunnel distortion
- Tunnel heave/settlement
- Embankment slippage (used in conjunction with stake mounts)
- Structural movement
- Rail track heave/settlement
- Rail trackbed cant and twist

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.
