Abstract
A system to monitor weight of a reservoir or a structure comprises a load cell which comprises an electrical or optical transducer to provide a proportional signal of the deformation, a load cell base support for holding the load cell on the ground substantially about the axis of the support element of the reservoir, a load cell support adapter to attach the loadcell to the support member of the reservoir. The cell support adapter may comprise an opening or a shouldering anchor aiming at facilitating attachment to a temporary lifting device.
