Magnetic Extensometers

Magnetic Extensometers
The Model 1900 Magnetic Extensometer is designed to measure settlement or heave of soft ground under the influence of loading or unloading due to the construction of embankments, fills, buildings, foundations, and structures. A probe is lowered inside a telescoping guide tube to detect and measure the position of magnetic anchors located around the guide tube…

Settlement Points (Borros Type)

Settlement Points (Borros Type)
The purpose of the heave/settlement points is to measure vertical movements in foundation soils during, and subsequent to, construction. The heave/settlement point consists of a three-prong anchor, a ¼" standard inner pipe, and a 1" standard outer pipe. The pipes are assembled in sections and fastened together with standard couplings to the required anchor depths.

Anchors
Borros Type Hydraulic Anchor | For use in soft soils and clays, especially in augered boreholes. Can also be driven directly through soft ground without a borehole being required (please see theModel 1950 data sheet). Groutable Anchor | The preferred anchor for use in downward-directed boreholes. The preassembled extensometer is installed in the borehole and is…
