1. INTRODUCTION
The Geokon Model 6300 Vibrating Wire In-Place Inclinometer system is designed for long-term
monitoring of deformations in structures such as dams, embankments, foundation walls and the
like. The basic principle is the utilization of tilt sensors to make accurate measurement of
inclination, over segments, in boreholes drilled into the structure being studied. The continuous
nature of the instrument allows for very precise measurement of changes in the borehole profile
to be measured. The instrument is installed in standard grooved inclinometer casing (Figure 1).
