Description
Model: EBS-16
Building Settlement Point for Structural Monitoring
The Encardio-rite EBS-16 Building Settlement Point is designed for monitoring vertical settlement or heave in concrete and rock structures, particularly in areas influenced by adjacent excavation, tunneling, or construction activities. It provides a stable and precise reference point for long-term structural deformation monitoring.
The instrument consists of a precision-machined spherical reference locator equipped with a threaded bolt for secure installation on vertical concrete or masonry surfaces. Once fixed, the locator serves as a repeatable observation point for optical leveling or laser-based measurements.
Settlement readings are typically obtained using a digital auto level, with the initial (base) reading taken before nearby construction begins. Subsequent readings are compared against this baseline to determine any vertical displacement or structural movement over time.
