Multipoint Borehole Extensometer

The MPBX (multipoint borehole extensometer) is designed to monitor changes in the distance between down hole anchors, each set at a specified depth in the borehole, and a measurement head at the surface. Rods extend upward from the anchors to the head, where measurements are made with a depth micrometer or displacement transducers.
MPBX heads are sized to accommodate measurement ranges up to 100mm.

APPLICATIONS
Tunnelling
Deep excavations
Dams
Foundations
Settlement Monitoring
