Installation
EL Beam Sensors
General Concerns
q
Anchor studs should be installed exactly parallel to each other if
beam is to be mounted directly onto studs.
q
Angle brackets, supplied in the anchor kit, can compensate for
studs that are not parallel. They also accommodate flexing in the
wall or floor, so that lateral deviation does not affect the reading
for tilt.
q
It is important to install the washers and bushings in the correct
order. The bushings help maintain free movement of the brackets
and prevent galvanic corrosion. Spring washers should be partially
compressed, not flattened.
Horizontal Beam Sensors
1
Mount beam sensor inside sensor compartment.
2
Drill anchor holes. Fill the hole with grout, then insert anchor
stud. Allow grout to harden.
3
Install signal cable and conduit.
4
Bolt angle-brackets onto stud as shown in drawing.
5
Bolt end-brackets of beam to angle brackets. Check that end
brackets are loose enough to allow adjustment.
6
Zero the sensor using EL-35 readout, then tighten thumb wheels.

Rembco Geotechnical Contractors specializes in
slope stabilization,
soil nail wall,
foundation repair
and support,
grouting,
shoring,
micropile
construction,
rock drilling, and we remediate
sinkholes. We use a
problem-solving approach in the geotechnical portions of buildings, bridges, water plants, sewage plants, tunnels,
installing caisson bottom, and roads. We are experienced in these applications:
micro piles,
sinkhole repair,
permeation and
pressure

soil nails,
cement grouting,
chemical grouting,
micropiles,
compaction grouting, and
rock anchors.
Rembco techniques apply when adding new structures: especially
rock anchor,
microfine cement,
soil nailing, and
micropile
installations for foundation support. Our specialties are
soil nails,
rock anchor,
chemical and
compaction grouting,
mini piles,
sinkhole repair,
