VW Crack Meter VWCM-4000
The VWCM-4000 Vibrating Wire Crack Meter is a precise structural instrument designed to monitor crack movement in concrete, rock and masonry structures. It measures changes in crack width with high accuracy, making it ideal for structural health and stability monitoring in bridges, dams, retaining walls and buildings.
Using vibrating wire technology, it converts displacement into a frequency signal, a signal that transfers reliable data with minimal degradation over time. The stainless steel construction provides durability in harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to water, temperature fluctuations and corrosive elements. The VWCM-4000’s sensor is capable of detecting even the smallest movements, allowing engineers to assess crack behaviour and identify potential structural issues before they escalate. It is available in various gauge lengths and can be installed across surface cracks or embedded in joints. Compatible with automated data logging systems, the VWCM-4000 supports real-time monitoring and remote access to data. Its low-maintenance design allows long-term deployment, making it a cost-effective solution for projects requiring continuous crack movement assessment and structural integrity monitoring.Monitel creates comprehensive structural monitoring systems using the VWCM-4000 Vibrating Wire Crack Meter and other sensors. Common applications include:
- Tunnel monitoring
- Wall monitoring
- Tailings dam monitoring
- Other structures (buildings, dams, bridges and more)
