Multipoint settlement gauges for monitoring ground movement.
Multipoint settlement systems help project teams monitor settlement across embankments, tunnels and civil structures. The system uses one or more hydraulic settlement gauges connected by tubing to a stable reference tank.

Settlement monitoring using single or multiple gauge points
Multipoint settlement systems help project teams monitor settlement at one or more locations across a project area. Each settlement gauge uses a pressure transducer mounted on a plate with a protective cover.
The gauges connect by tubing to a reference tank located on higher, stable ground. Depending on the monitoring requirement, the system can use a single gauge or multiple gauges to track settlement behaviour across embankments, tunnels or other civil structures.
Where settlement gauges are used
Multipoint settlement systems help project teams monitor settlement across ground, embankments, tunnels and civil structures.
Embankments
Monitor settlement behaviour across embankments, fills and earthworks.
Tunnels
Track settlement in and around tunnel works, portals and adjacent ground.
Infrastructure works
Monitor settlement where construction activity may affect roads, rail or nearby assets.
Civil structures
Support long-term movement monitoring for structures affected by ground settlement.
From settlement gauges to usable movement data
A multipoint settlement system should be selected around the monitoring layout, number of gauge points, reference tank location, expected settlement range and data acquisition workflow.

Gauge layout
Project teams can use a single settlement gauge or multiple gauges depending on the required monitoring coverage.
Reference tank
The reference tank sits on higher, stable ground and provides the reference point for settlement measurement..
Monitoring workflow
Data can support trend review, trigger levels, automated alerts, reporting and construction decisions.
