Concrete sensor technology has helped Costain reduce striking times by a third and lower its carbon footprint, the engineering company claims.
Materials engineers have been using concrete sensors to monitor the strength and temperature of setting concrete, which resulted in time and efficiency savings, Costain said. It also helped reduce the quantity of materials used.
One project used the sensors for more than 80 different pours and structures, eliminating the need to conduct destructive testing of approximately 500 strike cubes.
