Section 4 :
Protection of the Installation
All efforts must be taken to protect the gauge during concreting without significantly altering the
reinforcement performance.
Where the gauge is installed in a vulnerable position good practice is to spray the area with marker
paint as a warning and/or cover the area with fine wire mesh.
It may be necessary to fix additional reinforcement steel around the gauge position to offer protection
during concreting though this could affect subsequent gauge readings.
