Gilchrist Construction Company - Customer Case Study

Gilchrist Construction Company, a construction services firm, faced a significant time challenge on a major bridge project, needing to accelerate the process of opening the structure to traffic. To tackle this, they worked with vendor Giatec and utilized its SmartRock wireless sensors for concrete maturity monitoring.

The solution provided by Giatec enabled real-time temperature and strength monitoring, which minimized the need for traditional break tests. This allowed Gilchrist to save an estimated 3 to 4 months on the overall project timeline, leading to substantial time and cost savings and a major reduction in labor. The client also noted the significant value of the app for easily sharing project data with engineers who were not on-site.
