ABOUT THE COMPANY

For over 40 years Soil Instruments Ltd has been one of the world’s leading manufacturers of Geotechnical Instruments. Our equipment has been used to monitor projects such as dams, tunnels, landslides, deep excavations, roads and railways in nearly every country around the globe.

The company was formed in 1962 in response to a need for equipment to monitor in-situ pore pressures in a number of earth fill dams built in the 1800’s that were beginning to show signs of failure. As a result of this work, Soil Instruments became involved with the monitoring of a number of large dams being designed by UK consultants in countries such as Hong Kong, Pakistan, Argentina, Nigeria and Malaysia.

During the 1970’s the need for the Company’s instrumentation grew with the rapid expansion of highway construction in the UK, followed in the 1980’s and 1990’s by a number of major underground railway projects in Hong Kong, Singapore and London.

Soil Instruments Limited specialize in the Design, Development, Manufacture and Installation of a wide range of Geotechnical Instrumentation which embody the highest standards of engineering, the latest technology and an accredited Quality Control system to achieve maximum reliability and long term performance. Our instruments are designed to measure the parameters that govern elements of design, construction monitoring and the on-going safety of structures and environments.
