Description
Model: EPS-12
Surface Settlement Point for Pavement and Road Monitoring
The Encardio-rite EPS-12 Settlement Point is designed for monitoring vertical settlement or heave in pavements, roads, and other hard-surfaced structures. It provides a reliable reference point for tracking vertical movement during and after construction, particularly in projects where the top layer consists of asphalt, concrete, or tiles.
The instrument comprises a tapered plastic disc with a special retaining nail, allowing secure anchorage to the surface. Its robust, weather-resistant construction ensures long-term stability and accuracy, even under heavy traffic or temperature variations.
By establishing an initial benchmark reading before construction and comparing it with subsequent readings taken using a digital auto level, the EPS-12 enables engineers to quantify settlement or uplift with precision throughout the project’s lifecycle.
