GLÖTZL is one of the world leaders in instrumentation, data acquisition, services and solutions for geotechnical and structural monitoring. A brief overview at the projects, products and patents, help to get a clear idea of how important Glötzl’s role in field of geotechnical instrumentation is.
The most famous technology of pressure monitoring is first adopted by Glötzl in 1957. This invention had revolutionary effects on conventional building methods of large embankments and tunnels. For the first time it was possible to measure the underground pressure accurate and reliable. Glötzl is proud to announce that the water, earth and concrete pressure cells, installed in many dam and tunnel projects more than 50 years ago, are operating yet to a large extent as well as installation date and data are reliable for safety management. The recent development of total pressure measurement, also first adopted by Glötzl as Reference Pressure Cell, enables the engineers to recalculate the normal pressure and verified rotation at any random cushion position.
