Giatec has announced and launched at Bauma, the world’s first artificial intelligence (AI) tool for the concrete industry. Called “Roxi” it will have access to millions of data points, through the company’s SmartRock sensors. It…

Contractors may soon be able to more accurately monitor the quality control of concrete on jobsites, thus reducing the chance of human error, thanks to new artificial intelligence-enabled (AI) solutions. Giatec, which provides smart concrete…

An Ottawa tech firm is teaming with a renowned group of Montreal-based artificial intelligence researchers to bring AI to the concrete industry. At the enormous bauma construction tradeshow in Germany this week, Giatec Scientific announced…

The proprietor of the wireless, slab-embedded SmartRock sensor is extending its temperature and maturity monitoring capabilities with Roxi, a platform applying artificial intelligence methods to concrete quality control. Giatec Scientific developed the platform in conjunction…

Low-cost wireless sensors are replacing the century-old practice to determine when a concrete pour has properly cured. Stoneway Concrete sells Giatec concrete sensors to contractors and uses them in their own projects to gain a…

The World of Concrete is a massive industry event hosted annually at the Las Vegas Convention Center. For those who have never been, it’s an endless sea of exhibitor booths, training sessions, and even a…

Materials Performance (MP) Magazine honored the new class of winners for the 2019 MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards program in Monday’s ceremony at CORROSION 2019 in Nashville. The ceremony was held immediately outside…

Strength has been traditionally calculated by breaking sample cylinders cast from the same concrete material used for the building of a structure. In fact, using compression to test concrete strength has existed since the late…

Technological advancements have made it possible to obtain in-place strength data faster, without performing break tests. In particular, SmartRock™, the most widely used wire-free concrete sensor in the world, helps construction companies build structures faster,…

Engineers have used maturity calculations to help contractors complete jobs faster since the late 1980s. If they can know when a placement will achieve minimum strength without conducting time-consuming break tests on field-cured cylinders, contractors…

When it comes to testing concrete during placement, the most commonly used method for evaluating strength is the break test. Break tests require concrete sample cylinders to be subjected to high amounts of pressure in…

Giatec Scientific, a manufacturer of revolutionary concrete testing equipment, announced it has partnered with Redi-Mix, LLC (“Redi-Mix”), a business unit of U.S. Concrete, Inc., a supplier of concrete and aggregates for large-scale commercial, residential and…
