Encardio-rite model EPS-12 settlement point is used to monitor vertical settlement of a pavement or road. It is suitable for applications where the top layer of the road is asphalt. EPS-12consists of a plastic tapered disc and a special retaining nail. It is suitable for use on a concrete surface, tiles or asphalt road.

Settlement readings of EPS-12 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.
