Slough Meter

Sloughmeters are used in places where some caving or ground break off is expected. Consisting with up to 10 solid anchors along the length of the instrument, each anchor bonds with grout and the surrounding rock such that any ground failure will take the anchor with it, severing the circuit.

They are commonly used for applications such as monitoring the cave around a stope, or the collapse around an ore pass. 

Our Sloughmeters are low cost and custom-manufactured to any length and configuration required by our customers.
