Load measuring instruments are devices used to detect the force or weight acting on a given structure.
Load measurement is essential in civil engineering as it allows the safety of structures subjected to high stress and singular loads. (See, as an example, load cells for tie rods).

Flow-measuring instruments are used to detect the amount of liquid, gas or other fluid that passes through a given area in units of time.
Flow measurement is essential in several sectors, especially in the environmental field to monitor the flow of rivers, lakes and other water bodies, in order to prevent any flooding or drought problems. Likewise such measurements are essential to measure the losses of structures, drainages, free channels, etc.

Pressure measuring instruments are used to detect the force acting on a specific area of a fluid or gas.
This measurement is useful, for example, to measure pore pressure, the liquid contained in hydraulic type instruments and in any level measurement which exploit the principle of water pressure detection.

Level measuring instruments are used to detect, for example, the height of the water table, the height of the reservoir level, the height of the level in the weirs, etc.

Strain measuring instruments are devices used to detect any type of deformation or change in the dimensions of an object or structure.
The measurement of deformations is particularly important as it allows to evaluate the resistance of the materials. All stress measurements are actually performed using strain measurements.

Rotation measuring instruments detect the rotation of an object or a part of it in regard to a specific axis.
This measurement allows you to check the rotation speed of an object, its position and orientation, and to prevent system stability problems.
These are instruments used in many types of constructions such as bridges, viaducts, tunnels, dams and structures of various kinds with full scales to be adapted to specific needs.

Displacement measuring instruments are devices used to detect any type of movement or change in position of an object or structure with respect to a reference. Displacement measurement allows you to monitor the movement of a structure or object, its speed, its acceleration and its position, allowing you to prevent any structural failures or defects.
Typical examples of measurements of this kind are measurements at construction joints in various types of structures such as bridges, dams, large structures, etc.

Settlement measuring instruments are devices used to detect changes in elevation either at the ground level or in depth (up to 500 meters in special cases).
These measurements are very useful for relating the deformations of buildings or supporting systems as a function of the subsidence of the surrounding ground.

Temperature measuring instruments are devices used to detect the amount of heat of an object or an environment that is transformed into a measurable temperature of the object itself.
The temperature measurement is especially necessary in outdoor situations where the variations of the same can be significant and may influence the measurements of the various types of sensors.
Another method of temperature measurement is that in weather stations.

Depending on the processing required, a customized and ad hoc application can also be developed on the various platforms. It can be produced for the main platforms (Windows and Linux) and can also integrate with the main commercial relational databases.
The software can also provide real-time and 3D rendering of the structures with the representation of the quantities measured by AGISCO's monitoring instruments.
In this context, AGISCO has developed for the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport a software for simulating the behaviour of artificial reservoirs upon the arrival of flood waves in full compliance with ministerial regulations.
