WEIR MONITOR VWM-2000
The Geosense® VWM-2000 vibrating wire precision water level monitor utilises a vented vibrating wire force transducer in combination with a cylindrical weight suspended from it to monitor water levels.
The vibrating wire transducer is vented to atmosphere so that any atmospheric changes are automatically compensated.
Description
The transducer and weight are contained within a PVC slotted pipe which can be located within the weir or tank as necessary and the vent tube is terminated within a moisture trap. Periodic change of the desiccant is required.
The cylindrical weight is partially suspended in the water level being monitored and as the water level changes the force on the transducer by the cylinder alters which in turn alters the tension of the vibrating wire.
As with all vibrating wire sensors, the output is frequency and therefore not affected by changes of cable resistance and therefore extremely long cable lengths are possible.

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.
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.
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

PENDULUM 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.
