METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FOUNDATION MONITORING

Abstract: a system for monitoring a foundation includes a sensor cartridge assembly. the sensor cartridge assembly includes a sensor disposed in a sensor tube and a sensor head attached to an end of the sensor tube. wiring coupled to the sensor and routed in the sensor tube to the sensor head conveys power and/or telemetry between the sensor and a controller. the sensor tube is configured to be inserted into a raceway attached to a foundation. the raceway may be within the foundation and/or located at a perimeter of the foundation. a method for monitoring a foundation includes deriving an elevation of the foundation at the location of the sensor based on pressure measurements made by the sensor within the sensor tube.
