Magnetic Settlement Systems
RST Instruments Magnetic Settlement Systems are available in 3 main configurations which monitor either heave or settlement in soil and rock.
Overview
RST Instruments Magnetic Settlement Systems are available in 3 main configurations which monitor either heave or settlement in soil and rock. All are designed to be simple, accurate, and provide long term reliability at a low cost.
All 3 configurations listed below use an RST Reed Switch Probe to provide a reading in the magnetic zones allocated along the length of the borehole.
Installations are typically vertical, however, horizontal applications may be accommodated utilizing installation rods to insert the probe.
MAGNETIC SETTLEMENT SYSTEM WITH FLUSH THREADED PVC PIPE:
Installation as a single-purpose device to monitor settlement/heave only.
MAGNETIC SETTLEMENT SYSTEM WITH INCLINOMETER CASING:
Installed in conjunction with RST Flush-coupled Inclinometer Casing to obtain both vertical and horizontal deformation data from a single installation. If larger amounts of settlement/heave are anticipated, this configuration may also incorporate a Corrugated Sleeving with Settlement Magnetic Rings which will accommodate RST’s Inclinometer Casing of 70 mm (2.75″) and 85 mm (3.34″) OD sizes.
MAGNETIC SETTLEMENT SYSTEM WITH 1.5″ CORRUGATED PIPE:
A more inclusive system which contains pre-installed magnets along a 1.5″ ID corrugated pipe. This corrugated configuration is also more ideal for situations where larger amounts of settlement/heave are anticipated.

Magnetic Settlement Systems are commonly used for:
- Monitoring settlement or heave associated with construction, mining, and tunneling.
- When used around inclinometer casing, deformation in the third axis can be monitored.
- Subsidence monitoring.
- Displacement of retaining walls, piers, and abutments.
- Bottom heave of excavations.
- Relaxations of rock around tunnel openings.
- Foundation settlement monitoring.
- Embankments and fills.

Speak with an Expert
I’m very happy with the quality of the instrumentation and technical support from RST, as always. They worked with us from the initial stages of the project to ensure that we were fully prepared and equipped to use the RSTAR network for the first time. They delivered everything within the tight project time frame to ensure that there were no delays on site, and the submersible tilt meters looked like new even after over twelve months of being submerged in Thames water!
