With wireless maturity sensors, such as SmartRock, you’re notified immediately when your in-place concrete has reached 75 percent compressive strength, whether it’s in 12 hours, two and a half days, or even five days. Workers can then take action right away. Ditching early and unnecessary break tests in order to get to the next steps in the construction process faster is the ultimate goal. With this method, not only will you meet your project deadlines, you will also save days in your schedule that would normally be spent waiting on lab results.
Giatec launches AI-powered tool to optimize concrete mix design
On-site Magazine | June 24, 2021
Concrete technology firm Giatec is turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to help producers and contractors optimize their concrete mixes. The Ottawa-based firm, which makes concrete sensors, among other testing technology, has introduced SmartMix, a web-based AI tool that will fine-tune concrete ingredient proportions and reduce cement usage, while still allowing mixes to meet project specifications. Giatec says the new tool, the first of its kind, takes advantage of millions of data points it’s collected from projects its sensors are in use on around the world, and…
