Geosense provide a full range of tilt sensors and tilt meters engineered for long-term, high-precision monitoring that are used to detect and monitor differential movement and rotation in structures.
The primary technology used is MEMS, which detects minute changes in the tilt sensor’s alignment relative to gravity. This allows the MEMS tilt sensor to measure tilt and provide valuable data on structural movement or distortion over time.
At Geosense, we offer a full suite of tilt sensors or tiltmeters, including In-Place tiltmeters, wireless tilt sensors, portable tiltmeters, submersible tiltmeters, a 2-in-1 laser distance meter and tilt meter, a tilt beam sensor and pendulum systems, all backed by rigorous quality control and a 2-year warranty, so you can trust the integrity of your measurement data.
Tilt sensor typical applications (not limited to)
Tilt sensors and tiltmeters are essential for differential movement and rotation in:
- Retaining walls, diaphragm walls, deep excavations, and compensation grouting
- Dams, submerged structures, offshore structures, and pipelines
- Tunnels, underground excavations, and mining convergence
- Slopes, landslides, open‑pit benches, and geotechnical instability
- Bridges, piers, bearings, expansion joints, and transport structures
- Buildings, high‑rise structures, settlement points, and general structural health monitoring
- Faults, fractures, and remote monitoring of ground movement
Monitoring Systems Integration – Manual and Wireless Systems
We offer tilt sensors for manual readings with portable devices and wireless tilt sensor solutions for integration into fully automated tilt monitoring systems.
Types of Tilt Meter
We offer a range of tiltmeters and tilt sensors for different structural monitoring needs:
MEMS In-Place Tilt Meter is a MEMS tilt sensor that measures uniaxial or biaxial tilt, designed to be fixed in place for the long-term monitoring of structures
G7 Tiltmeter is a 3-axis wireless tiltmeter for full 3D tilt detection, capturing complex and out‑of‑plane movements. It has an energy-efficient trigger-based mode and an event detection mode delivering real-time alerts with latency under 2 seconds
Portable MEMS Tilt Meters measure uniaxial or biaxial tilt. They have a demountable sensor for repositioning to measure multiple positions
Submersible Tilt Meters are designed for use on submerged structures in tidal, offshore, and dam environments, operating at pressures of up to 20 bar (200m depth)
Wi-SOS 480 LaserTilt 90 is a 2-in-1 laser distance meter and tilt meter. The laser measures the relative distance between pairs of reference points, and the tilt meter provides measurements of changes from the vertical level
MEMS Tilt Beam Sensor is a fully enclosed sensor mounted on a lightweight, rigid GRP beam designed to minimise thermal effects
HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are typically used in concrete dams, bridges and high-rise buildings and have a tensioned, stainless-steel wire to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line
