Instrumentation
Our SMART instruments all come equipped with our patented electronic readout head, incorporating six linear potentiometers. The small (33 mm) diameter allows the instrument head to be recessed inside a 52 mm diameter borehole. This means your electronics are protected by the rock they are designed to measure.
SMART Cable Bolt
The SMART (Stretch Measurement to Assess Reinforcement Tension) cable bolt combines the durability of a cable bolt with the sensory capabilities of a borehole extensometer. Used to determine the loads on your cable support to determine capacity, improve safety, and optimize cable support design. [more]
SMART MPBX
Used to monitor rock displacements, our MPBX (Multi-Point Borehole eXtensometer) is MDT’s answer to complicated, expensive, and difficult-to-install instrumentation. Slip into a borehole, grout in place, and collect the data. Simple. [more]
SMART Contractometer
The unique collapsible structure of the Contractometer allows this device to measure closure and compression. Designed to be immersed in grout, cement, or in a borehole, this is your device for monitoring fill compression, movement on micropiles, or displacement on a fault plane. [more]
Sloughmeters
Yes, we have Sloughmeters! When you want to monitor failing ground and don’t need the complexity of an MPBX, our Sloughmeter is the answer. Install in a borehole and watch the lights on the Handheld Sloughmeter Reader. [more]
GMM Connectors
Rather than fumbling in the dark with a multimeter to read your gmm’s, just attach the colour-coded alligator clips and connect to MDT’s handheld readout unit. [more]
Readout Units
Handheld Readout Unit
Small, durable, and easy to use handheld readout unit for the SMART family of geotechnical instrumentation. [more]
SMARTRemote Data Acquisition System
Beyond the traditional data logger, we offer automatic data uplift to surface via TCP/IP, telephone modem, or leaky feeder radio. Spend your time analyzing your data, not collecting it. [more]
Software
MINEMonitor
A full featured Windows™ database program for all your SMART instrumentation. Includes Palm™ software to store your readings while you are in the field. [more]
