Inclinometers should be utilized for sites where stability is a concern. By tracking lateral ground movement during, and after SCP installation, the stability of the site can be assessed. This can help to confirm a service life with minimal lateral distortions and settlements. Inclinometers can provide information about the direction of soil movement below the surfaces and unstable areas on site where the soil may not be able to support the service load.</p></p>
