Geotechnical Instrumentation

Measurement of actual ground response to excavation is the best information on which to base future design work and confirm design performance.  As a distributor for Rock Mechanics Technology, AAI can provide both the hardware and expertise to ensure the success of your geotechnical monitoring program.  The RMT product line includes:

• Extensometers and Tell Tales for measuring strata separations and deformations

• Instrumented rockbolts

• The Acoustic Energy Meter for measuring the integrity of rock and rib strata, and tunnel linings.

TELL TALES

RMT makes a wide variety of patented Tell Tales, including single-, double- and triple-anchor models, with either manual or electronic readout.  RMT's Remote Reading Tell Tale System can monitor and store data from up to 400 connected unit.

STRAIN GAGED ROCKBOLTS

For designing proper support capacity, it is helpful to quantify bolt loads.  RMT strain-gaged rockbolts have proven reliable in harsh mining and civil engineering environments.

• Base Metals

• Coal

• Fertilizer Minerals

• Gold

• Limestone

• Oil Shale

• Trona

• Other

 

The pocket-sized ACOUSTIC ENERGY METER automatically measures the integrity of lined and unlined mine openings and tunnel surfaces.
