Precision Liquid Settlement Array
The Precision Liquid Settlement Array provides reliable, wireless, near real-time remote monitoring of settlement and heave which may occur at excavation sites, tunneling projects, underground openings, and related applications.
Overview
The Precision Liquid Settlement Array is ideal for monitoring structures that may be subject to movement as a result of nearby construction activities. Users have near real-time access through an RST Data Logger programmed to send data to a visualization software package such as NavStar’s GeoExplorer.

Precision Liquid Settlement Arrays are commonly used for:
- Application where reliable, real-time monitoring of settlement and heave is required.
- Settlement monitoring underfills, preloads, and embankments.
- Settlement and rebound associated with tunneling and relate underground openings.
- Bottom heave in excavations.
- Heave as a result of grouting.

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!
