For some projects , particulary dam cut offs , the hydrofraise has to go down as deep as 100 to 130 meters . It is therefore extremely important to monitor verticality in order to ensure continuity and connection between adjacent diaphragm - wall panels . The Enpafraise system monitors and records in real time three geometricals parameters : - depth - the angle of inclination of the hydrofraise frame in the plane of the diaphragm - wall (named right / left) . - the angle of inclination in the perpendicular plane (named upstream / downstream). The data is plotted directly on deflection vs depth curves . For example , the observed deflections during construction of a deep diaphragm - wall at Navajo dam (USA) , shown below were less than 1/1000 , confirming the efficiency of the Enpafraise sustem for monitoring and correcting deflections at great depths .

The Enpafraise also records three mechanical parameters :
- drilling speed
- torque of each of the two independant cutting wheel motors
These parameters are directly proportional to the hardness of the soil / rock layers encountered . Their record provides a geotechnical profile such as in the example shown below of a deep cut - off installed from the crest of a dam , where the core / base rock contact level appears very clearly .
