Case Study: Tomlinson Ready Mix accelerates road opening decisions with Giatec SmartRock® Plus

Tomlinson Ready Mix - Customer Case Study

Tomlinson Ready Mix, a leader in environmental and transportation infrastructure services, faced a challenge in optimizing project timelines for a highway paving project. The company needed to determine precisely when new concrete pavement had reached sufficient strength to be opened to traffic. Their traditional method of sending concrete cylinders to a lab 100 kilometers away for break testing caused significant delays. Giatec provided a solution with its SmartRock® Plus wireless sensor technology.

By embedding Giatec's SmartRock® Plus sensors directly into the concrete, Tomlinson gained access to real-time strength and temperature data directly at the jobsite. This eliminated the wait for lab results, allowing engineers to be notified within an hour when the pavement was ready. Giatec's solution significantly improved project scheduling by providing accurate, instant data sharing, enabling the contractor to open the highway lanes to traffic much faster.
