By measuring concrete temperature development using Concremote calibration boxes (figure 4), the maturity index of each concrete mixture is uniquely and directly related to its compressive strength and to the other concrete properties. Figure 4: Concremote calibration box, calibration curve in the web portal In the construction phase, the monitoring of the temperature and strength development by Concremote takes place in each critical concreting section. The reusable devices will be installed before pouring and the result will be monitored with the Concremote web portal (figure 5). Figure 5: Concremote web portal – Real-time information (e. g. strength) To enhance the quality of the concrete the curing is monitored and documented. As soon as a certain target value of compressive strength is reached formwork removal takes place. According to that, cycle times and commissioning quantities are reduced and the most optimized curing is obtained at the same time. 765
