Overview

The MIPI in-place inclinometer kit is an automated solution designed for monitoring ground movement and geotechnical structures at depth.

Several MEMS in-place inclinometers are positioned at different depths in a borehole in order to continuously track changes in inclination and soil movement. The number of sensors and their spacing are defined according to the borehole depth and the zones to be monitored.

The measurements are recorded automatically and can then be transmitted to PMI-CloudVIEW to visualize the borehole evolution, review histories and configure alert thresholds.

This solution enables permanent or long-term monitoring, without requiring regular campaigns with a mobile inclinometer probe.

Configure your borehole monitoring

Each project is configured according to the borehole depth, the number of zones to be instrumented, the desired spacing between sensors and the site conditions.

PM Instrumentation can provide a complete solution including MIPI inclinometers, the borehole casing, acquisition, transmission and remote supervision.

Contact us with your project specifications to define the appropriate configuration. The integrated temperature compensation helps limit the influence of thermal variations on the measurements.
