Geotechnical instrumentation development, has begin 1930 and 1940 and initialy we can observe the use of hydhraulic and mechanic instruments to this purpose. Meanwhile in the last years it can be observed the increase of the use these equipaments based on electrical principle like resistance extensometers and electrolevels that can be coupled to efficient system data aquisition. So there is need of the use of techique more precise and comprehensive for monitoring actual behaviour of geotechincal work so the big distance that there is between refinement, sofistication and versatility of computacional and numeric methods in relationship quality and representative information from observation programs in the geotechincal engineering, can be shortened. The main purpose of this research is to verify the aplication of electrolvel gauges in geothecnical instrumentation program and to develop specific procedure of assembly, calibration, installation and interpretation. This instrumentation technique in spite of being internationally established is still of restricted use in our country. Results obtained in two large concrete face rockfill dams (Xingo and TSQ-1) are presented.
