Pizzi Instruments offers a wide range of instruments for meteorological and environmental monitoring to be integrated into geotechnical and structural monitoring systems.
The sensors are connected to our automatic acquisition units CUM3000 or DAC3000, also used for all other sensors in a system. This makes it possible to correlate structural data with environmental data, parameters for the latter often being at the origin of changes in geological and structural problems.

Measuring Principle
Each instrument has its own mode of operation and its own measuring principle, in fact, each sensor measures a different parameter from all other sensors. Their shared purpose is monitoring such parameters in order to anticipate potential changes in weather conditions and monitor their various phases of development.
Optimum management of observations is essential, as these are the first link in the chain, both from a technical and scientific perspective. Observations form the basis for understanding phenomena and for subsequent weather forecasting.
