Introduction to In-place 3D Inclinometer System
Encardio Rite, we believe that the future of 
engineering lies in 3D measurement. Our 
new 3D inclinometer system (IPIS) is 
designed for measuring and monitoring 
lateral movement along with 
settlement/heave in a borewell or on a 
structure. This makes it extremely useful for 
the measurement of settlement in soil, 
earthworks, structures or slopes including 
retaining/diaphragm walls, embankment, 
deep foundations and dams etc. It is also 
designed to provide information about the 
zones of potential danger, the pattern of 
deformation, and the effectuality of the 
construction control measures. The new 
innovative instrument also finds wide 
application in monitoring landslide areas. 
Along with the measurement, it is also 
employed for monitoring as its data logging, 
and real-time monitoring features allow early 
warnings of any potential threat or failure.
Application- Where is it used?
•The In-place inclinometer is a device that measures lateral movement, settlement/heave of 
embankment fills, and landslide areas above dams, highways, earthworks, structures, etc.
•It's used to monitor the deformation of dams and retaining walls. It can also be applied in 
construction control and stability investigation.
• It's also used to monitor ground movement caused by tunnel construction or any other 
excavation.
Features – In-place 3D Inclinometer 
System
• The 3D(X-Y-Z) Profile is a reliable and accurate way to measure the complete 3D(X-Y-Z) 
profile of your borehole/gagewell. 
• This probe is designed with a rugged and robust construction that allows the probes to be 
removed, reconfigured, and reused with different boreholes or projects. 
• The probe provides excellent temperature stability, which allows easy connection to our data 
loggers with extremely simple and user-friendly configuration software.
How it works -An Overview
• If you're looking for a way to monitor your facility's inclination and vertical 
movement, but don't want to sacrifice the aesthetics of your building, 
IPIS is the solution. IPIS is an embedded system that uses a series of 
ABS inclinometer access tubes attached with telescopic coupling 
installed in a borehole or embedded in earth/rockfill or concrete structure 
during construction or fixed to the vertical face of a completed structure. 
The ABS casing is fitted with special magnet rings at intervals.
• The IPIS system is equipped with a series of probes that are placed in 
the inclinometer casing in a continuous array to measure the movement 
zone. Each probe contains a high-accuracy biaxial MEMS sensor to 
monitor inclination or lateral movement (X-Y). It also provides a 
contactless magnetic sensor which is employed to monitor settlement or 
heave (Vertical movement – Z) placed in a waterproof stainless steel 
enclosure.
How do you measure with the IPIS system?
The inclinometer is a device that registers the tilt 
of an inclinometer. It works by using a magnetic 
probe to register the location of the magnet 
mounted on the casing. Once this is done, it can 
be adjusted with the help of threads over 
expandable gage tubes. This also depends on 
whether heave of settlement is needed at the site.
When there is a subsurface movement in the 
ground, it leads to displacement in the 
inclinometer casing. The displacement further 
causes a change in the tilt of the in-place tilt 
sensors. The output reflects that change, 
proportional to the tile i.e, the angle of inclination 
from vertical.
