Con-Cure Maturity Monitoring Systems

Zone Cure Maturity Monitoring Systems

Applications and Benefits

• Bridges
• Post-Tensioned Structures
• High-Rise Buildings
• Tunnel and Jump Forms
• Early Forms Removal

Post-Tensioned Structures
The biggest economic impact maturity testing can have for a contractor is realized when the test is routinely used to determine the soonest forms can be stripped or post-tensioning can begin.

We find that contractors can save at least one days wait for each pour. Why are contractors waiting so long to strip forms or stress PT? The answer lies in the traditional method of testing concrete: field-cured cylinders.

Test cylinders have been used for decades as the benchmark of the compressive strength of concrete. In fact, test cylinders remain the most widely used barometer of concrete strength. And while test cylinders will always have a place in constructing the worlds structures, maturity testing provides new and critical information about the status of the concrete that is actually in the structure.

Tunnel and Jump Forms
Con-Cure is allowing one contractor in St. Louis to strip tunnel forms within 7 hours of end of finishing operations using immediate reshoring technique.

Con-Cure is allowing one contractor in California to speed construction of new suspension bridge north of San Francisco by confirming in-place strength.

Very difficult working conditions at both sites make taking cylinders virtually impossible.

Measurements can be transferred to a printer or to a PC for detailed analysis and evaluation.
