Applications

Jointmeters and CrackmetersJointmeters are used to monitor movement at joints and cracks in concrete and rock.

  • Monitoring joints for unexpected movement to provide early warning of performance problems
  • Monitor joints and cracks in structures that may be affected by nearby construction activities.
  • Monitor cracks in structures that have experienced seismic activity.

Types of Jointmeters

VW Jointmeter for Mass Concrete
The mass-concrete jointmeter is used to monitor movement at joints in mass-concrete structures such as abutments, foundations, and dams.

VW Crackmeter
The VW crackmeter is used to monitor movement at joints and cracks in concrete structures or rock.

VW 1-D and 3-D Submersible Jointmeter
The submersible jointmeter is used to monitor movement at joints and cracks and is designed to withstand harsh environments and extended submersion.
