9.3 Dead-end pulley
A dead-end pulley is required if one of the
ends of the Casing is not accessible.
A draw wire twice the length of the Casing is
used to pull the inclinometer probe back and
forth.
The installation of the inclinometer Casing
will depend on the application and ground
Conditions.

9.4 Installation within a trench
The trench should be excavated with a small gradient (~0.5%) to allow drainage and the
bottom should be flat. A system of horizontal supports which prevent twist of the Casing
should be used e.g. sections of channel with pipe clamps.
STEP 1 - Place and compact 100mm layer of sand in the trench.
STEP 2 - Connect together the required amount of inclinometer Casings along the line of
the trench ensuring verticality of one set of grooves and fix in place so the Casing
cannot move during backfilling.
STEP 3 - Cover Casing with 100mm of sand and compact evenly.
STEP 4 - Backfill remainder of trench with selected fill compacting evenly.
