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
Rock displacements
