9.2 Installation horizontally within a Re-bar Cage
Important points to consider when installing inclinometer Casing horizontally are:-
Figure 1
9.0 INSTALLATION - Horizontal
Typical installations where Casing is installed horizontally are:-
•
Foundation slabs - within reinforced concrete
•
Underneath embankments - within trench
The first piece of Casing is the most important as the
more accurately this is installed and with the minimum
amount of twist/torsion in the Casing the easier the
rest of the installation will be.
The ideal situation is to install the Casing directly into
the rebar cage but another option is to weld angles
onto the cage on which the Casing can sit
(see figure 1).
•
Orientation of grooves
•
No twist in Casing
•
Good fixing of the Casing
