Concrete Technology & Temperature Control
As one of the most common materials used in construction, many specifications call for stringent control of the concrete mix in order to ensure its optimal strength is achieved. In particular, the concrete temperature should be closely monitored as sufficiently large temperature differences can result in thermal cracks, which in turn leads to decreased strength of the concrete. As such, new replacement concrete might be needed resulting in increased cost and potential delays to the construction schedule. Therefore, during placement and curing, it is important to monitor concrete temperature and the temperature differential between the ambient air and the concrete, so that appropriate adjustment can be made when needed.
We provide the following concrete technology and temperature control services:
- Installation of Concrete Temperature Monitoring Instruments
We can come up with thermal control plan to help with selecting instruments, locations, and frequency of measurements as needed for your project’s requirements. We exercise high standard of care in installing the temperature monitoring devices and sensors in the concrete as required to allow for continuous recording of internal concrete temperatures over time. All the installation of the instruments will be closely supervised and inspected by our experienced specialist team.
- Real-Time Concrete Temperature Monitoring
We can provide real-time monitoring using wireless automated concrete temperature monitoring instruments. We employ the use of instruments incorporating the industry’s leading technology featuring continuous monitoring and real-time data transfer while ensuring reliable measurements of great accuracy. Alerts will be sent automatically to the relevant parties once the temperature detected have exceeded the threshold values specified. This allows for immediate actions or modifications from the engineers and the contractors to minimize construction cost and to avoid potential delays.
