Digital monitoring and measurement of fresh concrete
The adoption of digital measurement and monitoring can provide improved visibility and traceability to drive quality and productivity improvements and associated cost reductions. Reduction in plant/person interface adds safety benefits and reduced wastage and efficient use of resources brings sustainability benefits. Digital monitoring systems provide the real-time measurement and recording of fresh concrete properties such as temperature, air content and consistence. These calibrated, digital systems may also be capable of adjusting concrete properties such as the addition of water or admixture to correct consistence. Hosted by the CEO of the Concrete Society, Claire Ackerman, this session will share and discuss the latest guidance from the Concrete Society and i3P and include a case study that demonstrates the benefits of digital systems.
