Encardio-rite normal and inverted plumb lines are simple and reliable systems that are widely used in civil engineering projects where highly accurate long-base rotation/tilt/relative displacement measurements are needed, like in high-rise buildings, concrete and masonry dams, nuclear plants, etc.

Piezometer, or pore pressure meter, measures water pressure in soil, rock fills, foundations, and concrete structures. It provides key data on the magnitude, distribution, and variation of pore pressure over time. This geotechnical sensor helps assess seepage patterns, identify potential piping zones, and evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. Additionally, it measures water levels in reservoirs, wells, and boreholes.
Products
The pressure cell is designed to measure total pressure in earth fills and embankments; as well as pressure on the surface of retaining walls, buildings, bridge abutments, and tunnel linings
Comprehensive subsurface analysis ensuring stability for construction and infrastructure projects
Sensors
A readout unit is a microprocessor that displays the output data. Readout units and the data loggers make up an essential part of the monitoring system. The readout units are equipped with smart technology, which allows them to connect to multiple geotechnical instruments and record the readings. The recorded data can then be uploaded to a host computer or printed out on any text printer using the serial interface.
Sensors
Scouring is wearing away of riverbed material that supports piers or abutments. The piles or pier foundation get exposed down to significant depths due to large scale scouring. This may destabilize the foundation of the bridge causing bridge failure. Scouring thus compromises the safety of the bridge. It has been the cause of failure of several bridges around the world. It is thus, critical for the stakeholders to detect the occurrence of stream/riverbed scour at bridge piers and monitor the scour depth variation.
Products
Water seepage is the name given to the phenomenon when the water flows from one place to another via little holes or porous material. It usually occurs after heavy rainfall and might create hydrostatic pressure against the foundation of any structure. It is, therefore, very essential to measure the water seepage and to understand and predict the behaviour of the structure. It is used for dam monitoring as the quantity of water seeping through, around, or under a dam is of great importance in analysing the structural behaviour of a dam.
Sensors
Seismometers are designed to measure ground movements/vibrations caused by earthquakes, excavations, boring, drilling, etc. They record these vibrations as graphs often known as seismographs. Accelerometers are used to measure static or dynamic accelerating forces.
Sensors
Settlement monitoring is very important to evaluate the possible problems and for risk management related to ground displacement on surface or underground constructions. Settlement monitoring is used in the field of tunnelling, dams, embankments, deep excavations, foundations, retaining walls as diaphragm walls, and buildings affected by possible differential settlement.
Products
Strain Gages are geotechnical sensors used to measure the strain (deformation) in materials under stress, such as underground cavities, tunnels, buildings, dams, bridges, and concrete structures. These devices work by converting mechanical stress (force, pressure, tension, or weight) into measurable changes in electrical resistance, which is used to determine both stress and strain.
Sensors
One of the most basic instruments that we use in our daily lives is temperature sensors. From thermometers and refrigerators to water heaters and air-conditioners, they all have temperature sensors in them. But, the role of temperature sensors is not just limited to domestic equipment. They are paired up with several other sensors to measure the temperature of structures, buildings, soil, and water as well.
Products
Tilt meter or Beam Sensor is used to monitor vertical rotation, deflection, & deformation of diaphragm & retaining walls. Encardio Rite is the world’s leading manufacturer and supplier of affordable, accurate, robust, and reliable tilt meters, as well as, beam sensors.
