The application for which the magnetic settlement meter was created is the monitoring of settlements, consolidations and in general all the processes that cause a reduction in the thickness of soil layers.  

The metric settlement column is made up of: 

• An internal PVC tube that is welded to a pointed bottom terminal to facilitate descent into the holE
• A deformable external corrugated tube integral with the ground
• Magnetic rings fixed at the predefined depth by means of metal springs or with rigid PVC plates
• Suspension head with topographical feedback

Through the use of a probe capable of detecting magnetic fields it is possible to establish the relative movements between the rings positioned along the settlement column and therefore the movements of the ground.

Instrument used to measure land settlement and subsidence, phenomena that can occur following the construction of road embankments, embankments or earth dams.

The instrument essentially consists of a series of magnetized rings installed in a borehole which are made integral with the ground at different depths.

The variations in their position are detected with respect to the reference points through the use of a portable battery-powered probe.
