4DShape is an integrated monitoring solution based on a flexible chain of 3D inclinometers, designed to track relative displacements in soils and structures across vertical, horizontal, or converging alignments.
Built on advanced MEMS (Micro‑Electro‑Mechanical Systems) technology, this innovative approach delivers a reliable, efficient, and optimised monitoring solution for a wide range of geotechnical and structural applications, particularly in complex construction environments.
The 4DShape solution comprises a series of rigid unit lengths called segments that are chained together using joints that allow rotation, but prevent torsion. Each 4DShape segment contains three inclination MEMS, a microprocessor and a digital temperature sensor. Segment length can range from 200 mm to 1 metre, providing a much higher level of accuracy than is possible with conventional inclinometers.
The length of a 4DShape installation depends on the application, but can range from a few metres to 150 metres.
It can be installed in vertical, horizontal or converging configurations.
Its robustness, compact size, high measurement resolution and accuracy make this the essential solution for drilling operations, building outer walls and tunnel/pipeline inspection.
Its versatility of installation means that 4DShape has many different applications.
The most frequent are:
our teams have that knowledge, use the system worldwide and share project feedback
