     For the ground, that means using three primary types of equipment:
     ■ Extensometers to look for ground heave - the upwards movement of soil, which can occur at any stage. It is essentially the opposite of erosion and is often associated with clay-type soils which swell when wet.
     ■ Inclinometers, which measure slope movements.
     ■ Piezometers to measure water levels.
