ANZI strain cell
The ANZI strain cell is a proprietary SCT instrument, developed and refined in-house over more than 30 years and recognised internationally as a leading method for three-dimensional in situ stress determination. It is not supplied as a stand-alone tool.
Every deployment is backed by SCT's consulting expertise, with results interpreted and delivered through a data report and direct engineering feedback, so the measurement comes with the judgement needed to act on it.

SCT has now conducted over 300 overcore measurements using the 48mm ANZI strain cell in HQ exploration boreholes. These measurements have been conducted in a diverse range of geological environments, both domestically and abroad. SCT has been able to add significant value to our clients projects by obtaining these measurements at design stage in locations that were previously inaccessible until the mine or tunnel was developed.

An Australian exploration site needed to understand the in-situ stress in the rockmass. In early investigations for mines, tunnels, hydro projects and underground storage the data shapes feasibility, risk and design decisions. Using the ANZI Strain Cell in a standard HQ borehole and a wireline-enabled overcoring system, SCT delivered multiple high confidence three-dimensional measurements from surface approaching 1,000km deep.
