The project under discussion is an ultra-deep foundation pit with an excavation depth of 60m. The construction method involves the use of a contiguous bored pile wall, with a wall height of 72m. The soil conditions are complex, with three layers of confined aquifers within the excavation range. The overall risk level of the foundation pit is relatively high, and the monitoring level is classified as Level 1. Currently, the excavation has reached a depth of nearly 30m.
Q1: In 42-degree high-temperature weather, how many times a day do you manually pull the inclinometer in a 60m deep foundation pit, and how long does it take each time?
A1: We currently do it once a day. It takes about half an hour for each hole, and we have 8 holes, so it takes roughly 4 hours in total.
Q2: You have been using Inclino-Robot for a few months now. Can you share your experience with it?
A2: The overall operation has been quite smooth. We also have our own manual monitoring holes because we initially had doubts about the pull-cable inclinometer. Therefore, we periodically conduct manual measurements. After two months of testing, the results from Inclino-Robot and our manual measurements have shown no significant differences. Here is the comparison results: Comparison of Inclino-Robot Monitoring and Manual Inclinometer Monitoring Data
Q3: Are there any impressive aspects of Inclino-Robot?
A3: The power supply method is quite impressive to me. Previously, we saw that most devices used an external power supply, but your product is solar powered. I was initially worried that the recent continuous rain in our city might cause power supply issues, but after using, there have been no power supply problems. So far, we haven't encountered any power outages.
Q4: How do you feel about the adjustable monitoring frequency feature after using it?
A4: The ability to adjust the monitoring frequency is very beneficial for us. As the risk of our foundation pit excavation increases, this adjustable frequency feature is very user-friendly. It is much more flexible than manual inclinometer measurements. With manual measurements, conducting 2-3 measurements per day already involves a heavy workload. In this regard, the measurement cost of Inclino-Robot is significantly lower compared to manual labor.
The client praised our product, noting its effective power supply method and data accuracy. The compact design of the instrument ensures it does not obstruct construction vehicles or operations. Unlike municipal power supplies, which are prone to damage and high maintenance costs, the solar power feature of our device prevents these issues. The Inclino-Robot has proven reliable and efficient in a 60m deep foundation pit project. Its compact size, solar power, and adjustable monitoring frequency effectively tackle the challenges of complex construction environments.
The customer’s feedback confirms that the Inclino-Robot’s data accuracy aligns with manual measurements, reinforcing the device's performance and reliability. They also appreciate the ease of adjusting the monitoring frequency, which is crucial as excavation risks increase. This flexibility reduces the need for manual labor and lowers measurement costs.
Furthermore, the solar power feature has impressed the customer, ensuring uninterrupted operation even in adverse weather conditions, unlike devices dependent on municipal power. The client’s satisfaction extends to our service quality, which motivates our team to continue providing reliable and efficient solutions for deep foundation pit monitoring.
