Tilt & Rotation Monitoring

What this topic covers

Observe slow rotation or angular change in structures and foundations.

Core monitoring ideas

Tilt sensors can track changes in towers, walls, supports and foundations.

Temperature and mounting behaviour can influence long-term readings.

Trend direction and correlation with load or settlement data improve interpretation.

Interpretation limits

Sensor placement should follow the structural question rather than a generic grid spacing.

Evidence and data quality

Calibration, mounting and sensor health are part of the measurement system and must be tracked.

Lifecycle use

Combining complementary sensor types can reduce ambiguity when one measurement alone cannot explain a change.
