Integrated Inclinometer

A traversing probe gives you a continuous profile from the bottom up, which is great for detecting localized shear zones, but it requires manual site visits and a specialty readout. An integrated inclinometer occupies the borehole full-time, recording data on a schedule you set—ideal for real-time alerts on active slides or deep cuts where travel costs add up quickly. It doesn’t profile as finely, but you gain unattended coverage.

Many standard chains fit 70 mm casing, but it depends on the sensor diameter and how much annular space you need for grout. Kingmach’s customization experience covers these constraints: they’ll often tweak housing dimensions or recommend a flat cable design to reduce the effective cross-section.

Kingmach typically supplies the base inclinometer with a Modbus RTU interface; they’ll add a wireless transceiver per your network choice. That pairing is done in-house so the address mapping and power budget are sorted out, rather than leaving it to you to match a third-party logger.

No manufacturer will pin a single number here because soil chemistry and temperature cycles vary too much. What Kingmach does is calibrate against known tilt in the lab and include reference checks in the maintenance plan. Their support team can often spot drift early if you share your baseline readings periodically.

For most models, you’ll want to return the sensor to the factory for recalibration, as it requires a high-precision tilt table. Kingmach’s service centers can often expedite regional customers through partner labs in the Middle East or Southeast Asia to cut downtime.
