Nowadays, it’s more important than ever that contractors keep a close eye on their concrete’s development. After all, material delivery lead times are double or more than what they used to be before the pandemic. And the cost of materials is still relatively volatile. So if anything goes wrong during the development of the concrete and the material needs to be replaced, it could waste a significant amount of time and money. But contractors can avoid all that by ensuring the concrete develops effectively the first time around. There are many ways to accomplish that. Some of which often include relying on break tests. However, contractors might want to also consider calculating the maturity of their concrete.

They can do this with a variety of devices, but we recommend going with Maturix^® Smart Concrete^® Sensors. We’ve gone into brief detail before on how they can help boost worksite efficiency, but today, we’re going to give a more in-depth look at how exactly contractors benefit from calculating the maturity of concrete with Maturix.

To start, let’s take another look at that efficiency benefit.

It’s all thanks to the Maturix setup and functionality.

Contractors begin by embedding a type K thermocouple wire in concrete. Then, they connect the other end of it to a Maturix transmitter. Once connected, the transmitter automatically starts measuring the temperature of the concrete. It then sends that data to a cloud-based platform, which determines the compressive strength of the concrete. All of which gets displayed to Maturix users on any connected device they choose.

It’s an automated process that comes with plenty of efficiency benefits, including the following.

Traditionally, contractors are often concerned about maintaining the schedule and budget of a project. And it’s mainly due to how many uncertain variables they have to consider.

One of the causes of this uncertainty is simply due to conventional concrete development practices.
