GEO-LOK Inc
GEO-LOK linometer Casing
Inclinometer
Applications
Measurement of lateral movement and
deformation of soil, rock and structures
when installed in near vertical boreholes, or
settlement when installed horizontally in
boreholes or trenches. Applications include:
• Landslide monitoring.
• Dam and embankment performance
monitoring.
• Determining movement of retaining
walls, diaphragm walls sheet
piles and laterally loaded piles.
• Measuring ground movement due
to tunneling.
• Monitoring settlement of landfills,
tank foundations and embankments.
Description
Geo-Lok Inclinometer Casing is ABS pipe with four
orthogonal grooves running longitudinally along its
inside surface. When installed in a borehole, one set
of grooves is aligned in the anticipated direction of
movement. The grooves act as guides for the wheels
of the inclinometer probe, maintaining the orientation of
the probe as it traverses the casing.
Geo-Lok Inclinometer Casing’s proprietary joint re-
quires no glue, rivets or shear wires to connect
adjacent sections of pipe. The joints are made by
pushing two sections of pipe together and rotating the
pre-installed locking collar. The coupling ensures that
the grooves of adjacent sections of pipe are aligned to
form a continuous track for the inclinometer probe.
O-rings at the joint prevent the ingress of water and
grout.
Telescoping sections are available for installing
inclinometer casing where large amounts of settlement
are anticipated.
Spiral surveys are performed on deep installations or
where high accuracy is critical. Spiral data allows
inclinometer data to be corrected for twisting of the
casing that may occur during installation.

Performance Characteristics
Simple Assembly and Disassembly: Assembled
without glue, rivets or shear wires. Disassembly is just
as easy if problems occur during installation.
Spiral - 0.3° maximum, per 10 feet.
Tensile Strength - 3000lbs: Tensile strength is impor-
tant for deep installations in dry boreholes and where
settlements at depth are greater than at the ground
surface, applying a high tensile load to the casing.
Collapse Strength - 270 psi: Collapse strength is the
external pressure that can be applied to the outside of
the casing before failure. The higher the collapse
strength, the greater the depth of grout that can be
placed before stage grouting is required.
Bending Strength - 230 lbs.ft: Bending strength is
particularly important when installing casing in hollow
stem augers. When the borehole is grouted the
buoyancy of the pipe must be overcome to prevent
the casing rising out of the borehole. If the casing is
counter-weighted from the top, a large diameter
borehole will allow the casing to bend excessively.
Torque Strength - 70 lbs.ft: Torque strength is impor-
tant to prevent accidental misalignment of grooves
during installation. This is particularly important where a
hollow stem auger is used and the auger has to be
rotated to remove it.
Groove Profile: Our groove profile is compatible with
all inclinometer probes. The proprietary profile pro-
vides for better tracking of the inclinometer probe as
the casing bends due to movement, decreasing the
likelihood that the probe will leave the grooves.

Making Casing Joints

Ensure that o-ring is in place and Line up alignment slots with buttons Rotate coupling ring clockwise
lubricated. Lubricate if required. and push casing sections together. relative to casing until joint is tight.
To undo joint, reverse procedure.
