Encardio-rite model EBS-16 building settlement points are used extensively for measurement of vertical settlement of any concrete/rock structure or building affected by nearby excavation and construction activities. Model EBS-16 consists of a spherical reference locator with threaded bolt. The reference locater is fixed on a vertical wall or a structure to monitor settlement of structure/building.

Settlement readings of EBS-16 are taken with a digital auto level. To determine settlement, an initial or base reading is taken before the construction starts. Subsequent readings (taken during construction) are then compared with initial reading as reference.
