SmartRock Pro eliminates the need for manual calibration by using CEMMA (Concrete Electrical Matrix Microstructure Analysis) to self-calibrate strength readings in real time. Unlike standard SmartRock, SmartRock Pro also captures initial and final set times, electrical resistivity, and resistivity-based permeability (RCP equivalent), making it a multi-parameter sensor.
Yes. SmartRock Pro is fully self-calibrating and mix-independent, no lab-built maturity curve or cylinder breaks needed. It uses CEMMA (Concrete Electrical Matrix Microstructure Analysis) to directly measure the concrete’s mechanical and electrical properties in place, continuously adjusting its strength estimate to that specific mix. Readings are typically available within 2 to 3 hours of placement.
Yes. SmartRock Pro does not require a maturity calibration curve to output strength measurements. Its CEMMA technology reads the mix’s actual evolving microstructure rather than inferring strength from a pre-built temperature-strength correlation.
SmartRock Pro is not yet ASTM or CSA certified. Certification is currently in progress. Contact your Giatec representative for the latest status on certification timelines.
Inspector acceptance of SmartRock Pro varies by jurisdiction. Giatec can provide technical documentation and is progressing formal certification to support broader acceptance. In the meantime, supplemental verification against field breaks can be used to satisfy inspector requirements in conservative jurisdictions.
In some cases, though results may be less precise than a dedicated calibration.
Some unusual mixes may still benefit from a supplemental calibration check.
Accuracy is generally strong out of the box; a fully calibrated sensor may offer marginally tighter precision.
SmartRock Pro sensors are sold in boxes. Contact Giatec for current pricing at your required quantity, volume discounts are available for larger orders.
SmartRock Pro is one of Giatec’s newest products, the world’s first fully self-calibrating concrete strength monitoring sensor. Learn more about the technology or download the white paper to see how it compares to traditional maturity sensors.
Partially. SmartRock Pro reduces the need for field-cured cylinders used specifically for early-strength decisions (form removal, post-tensioning, opening to traffic) since it gives in-place strength within 2-3 hours without any calibration cylinders or lab breaks. But it doesn’t replace 28-day acceptance/code-compliance testing, which serves a different purpose and is typically still required by the engineer of record.
No. Pro is retrieved via Bluetooth within range rather than through a gateway.
It allows faster deployment on new mixes without waiting for a calibration curve.
In most cases yes, this is one of Pro’s key advantages.
SmartRock Pro uses CEMMA (Concrete Electrical Matrix Microstructure Analysis) to directly measure the concrete’s mechanical and electrical properties in place, rather than relying on a temperature history matched to a pre-built maturity curve. Because it reads the mix’s actual evolving microstructure instead of inferring strength from a calibration built on a different batch, it doesn’t need mix design information or cylinder breaks up front.
Yes, giving you both self-calibrated and manually calibrated readings for comparison.
SmartRock Pro battery life is designed to last up to 4 months, consistent with other SmartRock products. Durability is comparable across the SmartRock line; all sensors are single-use and rated for full embedment in concrete.
Yes, volume discounts are generally available for larger Pro orders.
Projects with new/unfamiliar mixes, fast-track schedules, or limited calibration lead time benefit most.
Placement guidance is largely the same; the main difference is in calibration approach.
Yes, Pro data is managed within the same dashboard as other SmartRock products.
Yes, combined with optional supplemental verification, though local acceptance should be confirmed.
Standard hardware warranty terms apply; confirm exact duration with your rep.
SmartRock Pro is available globally. Regional availability may vary depending on local certification status for specific applications. Contact your Giatec representative to confirm availability and any relevant regulatory considerations for your region.
Consider your calibration timeline, mix familiarity, and local inspector acceptance requirements.
