The In-Place Inclinometer (IPI) is a high-precision piece of structural instrumentation designed for continuous monitoring of lateral ground and structural movement. It is commonly used in applications such as retaining walls, deep excavations, landslides and stability assessments. Unlike traditional manual inclinometers, the IPI provides real-time data by being permanently installed within inclinometer casing, allowing for continuous, automated measurements.
The IPI consists of a series of interconnected sensors housed within a durable stainless steel casing. These sensors detect angular movement along a vertical axis, measuring any shifts in soil, rock or structures. The system is available in both uniaxial and biaxial configurations, adopting single or dual-plane monitoring depending on your project requirements.
Designed for long-term use, the IPI is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including water ingress and high-pressure zones. It seamlessly integrates with remote data acquisition systems, enabling real-time monitoring and early detection of ground movement. The IPI’s modular design allows for flexible installation at varying depths, ensuring comprehensive coverage of monitored areas.
With its ability to provide continuous, precise measurements, the IPI is an essential tool for geotechnical monitoring projects, supporting proactive decision-making and enhancing the safety and stability of infrastructure.

The W1 Standpipe Piezometer is a reliable and cost-effective Casagrande type piezometer designed for monitoring in vertical boreholes. At Monitel, we have used it to measure groundwater levels and pore water pressures on sites across Western Australia.
The sensor is typically installed with the filter tip positioned at the chosen monitoring depth. For pressure data, the tip is surrounded by sand and enclosed with a bentonite seal to isolate the measurement area. Water level data can be gathered through a riser pipe or a Bourdon gauge (in artesian conditions). The W1 is suitable for various ground types and can be customised to match specific site requirements. It can be deployed with either a porous or ceramic tip and has a drive-in capacity for softer soils. The simplicity, versatility and reliability of the W1 Standpipe Piezometer make it an ideal choice for an accurate and consistent groundwater monitoring solution. Key Specifications:
The 4-20mA Piezometer is engineered to precisely measure pore water pressure in fully or partially saturated soil and rock. It is one of the more commonly deployed sensors in our piezometer range.
It utilises a diaphragm-type pressure transducer, delivering a robust 4-20mA output signal that is ideal for integration with data loggers and remote monitoring systems. It boasts an advanced and durable design, with 316-grade stainless steel and hermetic sealing protecting the technology from environmental effects. The casing itself is constructed to ensure that any stresses have no impact on readings. The 4-20mA is capable of measuring pressures from -50 kPa to 3500 kPa, accommodating a wide range of monitoring needs. Key specifications:
The W16 Kompakt Piezometer is a vibrating wire piezometer designed for fast and accurate measurement of pore water pressures.
It utilises proven vibrating wire technology, where changes in wire tension correlate to changes in pore water pressure. Data is then sent to a read-out, terminal unit or data logger. The W16 boasts a compact design, making it ideal for confined installations. It is only 19mm in diameter and weighs just 150g (excluding the filter and cable). However, it is also robust and durable, with hermetic sealing promoting resistance to environmental factors. An over-voltage surge arrestor safeguards against electrical damage. The sensor tip includes an integral porous element, which houses the vibrating wire technology. Key Specifications:
The VWP-3000 Series Vibrating Wire Piezometers are designed to provide measurements of pore water pressure across geotechnical and structural engineering applications.
These piezometers work by converting fluid pressures (exerted on a sensitive diaphragm) into a frequency signal. They collect reliable and accurate data suitable for monitoring groundwater elevations, pore pressures and fluid pressures.The series is built to withstand tough and demanding conditions, ideal for direct burial in fills, embankments and boreholes. Each model includes an internal thermistor and a 90V gas plasma arrester, acting as a safeguard against lightning strikes.
The VWP-3000 Series also features:
