One sensor, multiple applications

Where 2D sensors are used today.

Crack Monitoring

Settlement, shrinkage, and stress cracks in concrete and masonry that primarily open along two axes. A complete history of movement for expert reports and damage assessments.

Crack Monitoring

Joint Monitoring

At expansion joints and connection joints where movement in the plane is to be captured without the Z-component being relevant.

2D Sensor Joint Monitoring

Preservation of evidence

The 2D sensor monitors cracks in adjacent buildings before, during, and after pile driving, excavation, and blasting work.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2D Sensor

The 2D sensor is the standard solution for crack monitoring and joint monitoring when movement occurs primarily along two axes. For cracks with a three-dimensional component or applications involving rotation, the 3D sensor or the 6D sensor is the more appropriate choice.

Using the 2D sensor for your project

During the consultation, we’ll show you whether the 2D sensor is suitable for your application and how quickly it can be installed.
