Inclinometer and tilt monitoring provides continuous measurement of structural inclination and foundation settlement. We deploy precision tilt sensors to detect gradual movements that could indicate foundation issues or structural distress. Our systems provide early warning of potential stability problems nationwide.
This service serves building owners, structural engineers, and property managers monitoring foundation performance. We use digital inclinometers and tiltmeters with sub-millimeter accuracy. Our monitoring programs establish baseline conditions and alert engineers to movement trends requiring attention.
The monitoring includes sensor arrays measuring tilt in multiple directions, providing comprehensive foundation assessment. Data analysis identifies settlement patterns, differential movements, and potential failure modes. Our nationwide deployment ensures consistent monitoring capabilities across diverse soil conditions and building types.
Benefits include early detection of foundation issues, prevention of major structural damage, and documentation of building performance. We help owners maintain structural integrity through proactive monitoring and timely intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What structures need tilt monitoring?
Tilt monitoring applies to buildings on expansive soils, structures with foundation concerns, and critical infrastructure nationwide. We monitor residential, commercial, and industrial buildings for foundation settlement and structural movement.
How accurate are your tilt measurements?
We use precision digital inclinometers with 0.001-degree accuracy nationwide. Sensors measure tilt in two axes, detecting movements as small as 0.1 millimeters. Calibration certificates ensure measurement reliability for engineering applications.
How do you install tilt sensors?
We install sensors on foundation elements, structural columns, and building surfaces nationwide. Installation is non-invasive with minimal disruption. Wireless systems transmit data continuously to our monitoring platform.
What causes structural tilting?
Common causes include soil settlement, foundation movement, and groundwater changes nationwide. Our monitoring identifies movement patterns and rates. We provide data for engineers to determine underlying causes and appropriate responses.
How do you alert about tilt issues?
Our system sends alerts when tilt rates exceed thresholds nationwide. We provide detailed movement analysis with trend projections. Reports include safety assessments while clarifying engineering design services remain separate.
