The Encardio-rite model EAN-91M/EAN-93M box type tilt meter and EAN-91M-B/EAN-93M-B beam sensor are suitable for monitoring small changes in inclination and vertical rotation of structures. The tilt meters provide a relatively low cost system which offers excellent resolution and long term stability.
Tilt changes in structures may be caused due to construction activities such as excavation; tunneling and de-watering that affect the ground that supports the structure. Changes in tilt may also result from loading of a structure, such as loading of a dam during impoundment, loading of a diaphragm wall during excavation or loading of a bridge deck due to wind and traffic.
Data from the tilt meter/beam sensor provides early warning of threatening deformations, allowing time for corrective action to be taken or if necessary, for safe evacuation of the area
