S.T. Wooten Corporation used COMMAND Center on a North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) project in Havelock, NC. The project included mass placement for two footings each measuring 20’ x 20’ x 6’ for which temperature monitoring was required. COMMAND Center was used to monitor and report temperature gain in the massive footings.
Maintaining appropriate temperatures and temperature ranges within mass concrete is a key to maintaining its durability and longevity. The risk of temperature-related concrete damage increases if the temperature of concrete gets too high or the temperature differential between the hottest interior point and the surface and/or edge gets too large. S.T. Wooten used COMMAND Center to ensure their concrete stayed within the allowable range.
