New tool to monitor in real time the hardness of the concrete

Doka, Austrian multinational, expert in systems and solutions of formwork, offers the new tool: Doka Concremote. It treats to incorporate 3 sensors inside the concrete to monitor his hardness in real time and determine the safest moment for desencofrar.

The system Doka Concremote is formed by the sensors of wall, wire and float (in surface), a box of calibration of concrete, and a software for the introduction and reading of data. The results can see in any computer device.

In definite, with Concremote the user has of a cronometraje real directly in work, without need to realizar destructive essays of probetas of concrete, measures the temperature and with a calibration of the mix of concrete measures the evolution of his hardness. Doka Concremote Already has used in more 20 works, being his field of application act of edificación (wall and losa), civil work (tunnels, bridges) and also in special uses like concrete seen, concrete in mass, apeos, etc.

Thanks to the control to real time of the hardness of the concrete reduce to the minimum of the cycles of work and the quantities of material for knowing the most premature moment possible of desencofrado; they reduce the costs of personnel and material, improving the planned planning; it optimises the formula of concrete, when knowing with greater accuracy the evolution of the hardness; and it controls of precise form the period of resistance by a better information on the maturity of the concrete.

Thanks to values measured, no estimated, increases the hygiene in the decision to the hour to choose the best moment for desencofrar and wins in hygiene in the execution according to the norms DIN and ZTV-Ing.

Through a procedure of measurement tested obtain all these advantages:

- Reduced costs of the process of measurement and monitoring by not being necessary the destructive essays of probetas of concrete.

- Batteries of long length in his greater free part of maintenance, robust sensors and transmission of wireless data.

- Fast installation and positioning of the sensors of measurement, planting them on the cool concrete or simply in the zone of the wall.

- Simple handle to activate the three sensors.

- Access guaranteeed to the data anytime and in any place through the portal web sure.

- Timely notification on the initial resistance through ecouriers or SMS.

- Processing and fast archive thanks to the export of data.

Additional advantages

- Avoid fissures thanks to the exact measure of the hydratation.

- Exact determination of the moment of the pretensado basing in a value measured.

- Fixation of the back treatment basing in the hardness of real concrete.

- Better aesthetic appearance of the concrete.
