7.2 Installation overview

It is recommended when installing into a vertical borehole, to use pipe clamps to install QJ
Inclinometer Casing as there may be a risk of loosing the Casing down the borehole.
In dry boreholes (particularly deep ones) a safety line should be attached to the base of the
Casing to provide additional security and a way to retrieve the Casing if necessary.
Install the Casing as follows:-
1.) Attach clamp A to the first section of the Casing and lower into the borehole until the
clamp rests on the top of the borehole.
2.) Attach clamp B to a suitable location on the next section of the Casing so it can be used
to push down and "snap" together the two sections. Reposition the clamp to the top of the
Casing.
3.) Remove clamp A and lower the new section into the borehole until clamp B rests on the
top of the borehole.
4.) Remove clamp A and repeat as per step 2. Repeat alternating clamps A & B until
installation is complete.
ONCE THE CASING IS INSTALLED TO DEPTH IT IS SUGGESTED TO USE A
DUMMY/INCLINOMETER PROBE TO CONFIRM THE CASING IS FREE
FROM OBSTRUCTION.
