Kent Companies needed to continuously monitor concrete temperatures when building a 16-story high rise in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Most concrete was placed during the winter, and the team needed a reliable way to ensure the concrete was not freezing and thus compromising the safety of the structure. The team used COMMAND Center concrete temperature and maturity system to document temperatures to meet the project specifications. Learn more: www.commandcenterconcrete.com...
ABOUT COMMAND CENTER:
The COMMAND Center concrete temperature and maturity system is used to measure and log concrete temperature history, calculate maturity, and evaluate in-place strength. The system employs small, self-powered sensors placed in fresh concrete that automatically measure temperature data at predetermined intervals and store data internally. Data is retrieved from the sensors and analyzed with free COMMAND Center software, which can display temperature and temperature differential data, automatically provide calibrated maturity curves based on break data entered by the user, and calculate and display maturity and corresponding strength data of in-place concrete as it cures. Construction teams use COMMAND Center to satisfy project requirements for temperature and/or maturity monitoring, expedite project schedules, increase safety, and improve construction methods. COMMAND Center is ASTM C1074 compliant. For more information, please visit www.COMMANDCenterConcrete.com.
