Slip Indicator System
Slip Indicator System
An economical method of determining within a soil mass the location of a zone where movement is occurring.
A flexible slip indicator pipe with base plate is inserted into the base of a borehole and surrounded with sand. When lateral movement of the soil occurs, the flexible tube becomes deformed in the zone of movement.
Indicator probes attached to a length of support rope are used to determine the zone of movement.
Features:
-Can be installed in 70mm boreholes or larger
-Cost-effective way to measure movement in soils
-Simple to install
-No readout required
-Probes can be made to suit individual requirements
