4DShape is an all-in-one solution that uses a flexible chain of 3D inclinometers to monitor the relative movement of vertical, horizontal or converging profiles in soils and on structures.
A relatively recent innovation based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Sensors) technology, it provides an efficient, effective and optimised solution for many applications.
The 4DShape solution comprises a series of rigid unit lengths called segments that are chained together using joints that allow rotation, but prevent torsion. Each 4DShape segment contains three inclination MEMS, a microprocessor and a digital temperature sensor. Segment length can range from 200 mm to 1 metre, providing a much higher level of accuracy than is possible with conventional inclinometers.
The length of a 4DShape installation depends on the application, but can range from a few metres to 150 metres.
It can be installed in vertical, horizontal or converging configurations.
Its robustness, compact size, high measurement resolution and accuracy make this the essential solution for drilling operations, building outer walls and tunnel/pipeline inspection.
Its versatility of installation means that 4DShape has many different applications.
The most frequent are:
