The Hy­dro­sta­tic Lev­el­ing Sys­tem (HLS) is com­monly em­ployed in Struc­tural Health Mon­i­tor­ing (SHM) to an­tic­i­pate is­sues in large-scale struc­tures. Par­tic­u­larly in struc­tures like par­ti­cle ac­cel­er­a­tors, it is used in high-pre­ci­sion align­ment, where small dif­fer­ences in el­e­va­tion such as ter­res­trial tides, could af­fect ma­chine op­er­a­tion. This study out­lines the de­vel­op­ment and eval­u­a­tion of the first HLS based in Lin­ear Vari­able Dif­fer­en­tial Trans­former (LVDT) and were used to mon­i­tor the struc­ture at LNLS/CNPEM, Brazil, from 2020 to 2023. A com­par­a­tive analy­sis with a ca­pac­i­tance-based off-the-shelf HLS was ex­e­cuted, and ex­per­i­men­tal data an­a­lyzed through Fast Fourier Trans­form (FFT) con­firmed the pres­ence of tidal com­po­nents in both HLS¿s data. Ad­di­tion­ally, the cor­re­la­tion be­tween level and tem­per­a­ture data was demon­strated by Pear­son co­ef­fi­cient. The Setup-HLS de­vice, de­vel­oped with sup­port from Brazil­ian na­tional re­sources, ex­hib­ited ac­cu­rate mea­sure­ments in build­ing tilt and di­ur­nal and semi-di­ur­nal Earth tide vari­a­tions. Fu­ture re­searches in­clude a cal­i­bra­tion jig and an on­line ver­i­fi­ca­tion sys­tem. This re­search pro­vides a vi­able al­ter­na­tive to ex­ist­ing HLS sys­tems.
