QD Casing is ideal for installation with window sampling equipment in physically restricted areas where access is limited, making it non cost effective or simply impossible to use conventional drilling rigs to install inclinometer casing. Combining all the advantages of EC (Easy Connect) Casing, it is both faster and easier to install than coupled inclinometer casing, as it requires no rivets, glue or sealing tape.
QD (Quick Drive) Casing is an ABS inclinometer casing manufactured using advanced extrusion techniques. Designed for driving into pre-formed window sampling holes, it is also suitable for shallow installations in soft soils.
Inclinometer systems are used to measure lateral movement in the ground or in a structure. They are useful for determining the depth, direction, magnitude, and also rate of movement. For example, they can be used to ascertain the stability of retaining walls by measuring bending and rotation in the retaining wall. They can also reveal ground movement that could affect other buildings.
Measurements of recorded movements are used to check that the deflections are within the design assumptions. Monitoring is continued to establish any long term effects after works have finished.
Typical applications include:
• Highway and railway embankments
• Detecting slopes and landslides
• Determining shear and slip zones
• Verifying design assumptions and finite element analysis
• Long term monitoring purposes
• Monitoring retaining walls
• For shallow depth in soft soil conditions.
