Why Choose Concurex?
At more than 30,000 concrete plants worldwide, manufacturers face significant inefficiencies due to traditional testing methods:
1. High costs of destructive testing
Methods such as core sampling and compressive strength tests range from $80 to $600 per test, depending on the location and method.
2. Less-than-expected accuracy of measuring instruments
Common instruments, such as rebound hammers, primarily assess surface hardness and often fail to reflect the intrinsic properties of concrete.
3. Need for multiple instruments
Measuring different physical and chemical properties of concrete typically requires multiple instruments, which increases both complexity and cost.
4. Delayed test results
Many methods require waiting up to 28 days for the concrete to cure before reliable measurements can be obtained, which delays the project timeline.
Current tests – such as setting time and compressive strength determination – are destructive, compromise the structural integrity of the slab, and do not fully capture concrete behavior, phase changes during hydration, or the development of long-term compressive strength.
CONCUREX is an advanced, non-destructive, real-time concrete curing simulation and estimation system. The system uses advanced sensors and data analytics to provide continuous insight into strength gains and hydration progress through:
– Real-time monitoring:
Embedded sensors measure electrical resistance changes directly related to hydration and strength development, providing immediate data on cure status.
– Accurate strength estimation:
The system generates a strength growth curve that stabilizes at the target strength, providing a reliable benchmark for construction decisions.
– Advanced decision-making:
With live, structure-specific data, engineers can more confidently determine when to remove formwork, apply loads, and perform other critical steps – optimizing programs and safety.
– Non-destructive testing:
CONCUREX prevents damage to the slab and provides permanent structural integrity while providing accurate strength assessments.
-Efficiency and Cost Savings:
By reducing reliance on fixed estimates and schedules, the system simplifies construction, minimizes delays and leads to significant 60% cost savings.
-Environmental Independence:
CONCUREX operates reliably in any curing environment – whether it is varying temperature, pressure or humidity – making it suitable for all climates and site conditions.
CONCUREX empowers manufacturers and engineers with a smarter, data-driven approach to performance – maintaining structural integrity – while improving application reliability and cost efficiency in any environment.
