Case Study: Concrete Materials achieves faster, more efficient concrete testing with Giatec SmartRock Plus

Concrete Materials - Customer Case Study

Concrete Materials, a leading ready-mix supplier in Sioux Falls, faced a significant skilled labor shortage which created operational challenges for its major construction projects. To help its customers achieve greater efficiencies, Concrete Materials partnered with vendor Giatec to implement its SmartRock™ Plus wireless sensor technology.

Giatec's solution provided real-time monitoring of concrete maturity, which was tested and verified for accuracy on a major highway project. The results led the South Dakota DOT to reduce traditional cylinder testing to just one per month, saving significant time and labor. The contractor, T&R Inc., realized important schedule efficiencies, and Concrete Materials confirmed that SmartRock Plus will now be a standard product on its future large-scale projects, providing a competitive advantage.
