Case Study: Hilltop Companies achieves faster concrete strength verification with Giatec SmartRock Plus

Hilltop Companies - Customer Case Study

Hilltop Companies, a premier ready-mix concrete supplier, faced a challenge while supplying concrete for the Ovation music venue. Their client, Baker Concrete, was on an aggressive schedule and needed to confirm the concrete reached its target strength of 3,000 psi in just two days instead of the specified three to accelerate construction.

Hilltop recommended Giatec's SmartRock Plus maturity sensors to provide accurate, real-time strength data. This solution allowed the contractor to confidently proceed with construction as soon as the strength was achieved. With Giatec's technology, the concrete consistently met the desired strength in two days or less for every pour, keeping the project on schedule and providing the contractor with time and cost savings compared to traditional testing methods.
