Digital Concrete Testing to Cut Carbon

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

This contractor has implemented VERIFI, a digital-in-transit concrete monitoring system mounted on trucks. VERIFI monitors concrete consistency (slump and temperature) reducing the need for extensive presence of concrete technicians at site and laboratory testing.

Site teams verify compliant concrete by consulting the VERIFI display upon delivery. Access to the app is granted solely to authorised personnel. The site supervisor now checks a digital readout, rather than relying on a site technician to test concrete eliminating waste.

In simple terms, this means the concrete truckmixer tracks itself to the point of delivery, tests itself prior to discharge and auto generates pour records for quality assurance purposes. A full-scale site trial involving over 20,000m3 of concrete demonstrated accuracy.
