Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Deployment of wireless sensors embedded directly into pouring concrete to monitor temperature and strength in real-time, allowing construction teams to strip formwork days earlier than standard schedules.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A simple hardware innovation with massive schedule impact. By replacing the 'wait and see' approach (cylinder crush tests) with real-time data, it accelerates the critical path of high-rise construction, where every day of crane time costs thousands."

warning The Challenge

Construction schedules are dictated by the speed at which concrete cures. Contractors traditionally relied on 'cylinder tests' (taking a sample to a lab) to guess when the building's slab was strong enough to build the next floor. This was slow, reactive, and often inaccurate due to lab vs. site condition differences, leading to unnecessary waiting periods.

psychology The Solution

Embedded Giatec SmartRock sensors into the rebar before pouring. The sensors are covered by concrete but transmit data via Bluetooth to the site manager's phone. The app calculates the exact maturity and strength of the concrete in real-time based on temperature history. As soon as the target strength is hit, the team receives an alert to strip forms and move to the next floor.
