deep settlement gauge

A deep settlement gauge typically consists of a downhole probe, magnetic rings or settlement plates, and a readout unit. The probe is lowered into a borehole, and the rings move with the surrounding soil. By measuring the distance between rings over time, you track compaction or settlement at multiple depths. Kingmach’s approach is straightforward: use proven sensor technology and rugged materials. The housing is stainless steel or reinforced PVC, and the cable is Kevlar-reinforced—tough enough to handle repeated lowering and pulling. Measurement accuracy is at the millimeter level, which is standard for this class of instrument. For readout, you can choose a manual tape-and-switch indicator or push for automated data logging. Many engineers opt for manual because it’s simple and doesn’t rely on battery life, but we can integrate with telemetry if the project demands real-time data. Customization is where Kingmach adds real value. Not every site needs the same ring spacing or probe length. We build to order—shorter probes for shallow monitoring, extra rings for soft marine clay, or special anchoring for inclined boreholes. Our global network means you can get spare parts and technical advice without shipping delays. And if something goes wrong, our after-sales team is reachable by phone or email, not just through a ticket system.
