Concrete Construction
Challenge
Relying on cylinders alone would have required waiting 48 hrs longer to reopen the road.
Results
REBEL® Sensors showed the precise time that the concrete hit 1800 psi

About the Project
Target Strength= 1800 psi
REBEL® Sensors reached 1800 psi at 4 hrs.
A bridge in Indiana on I-69
~ 90 yards of reinforced concrete
6 REBEL Sensors placed in the concrete
Cylinders taken at 1, 4, 7, 14, and 28 days
The REBEL System was deployed, and real-time strength data was provided to prove the precise time that the concrete hit 1800 psi.
The Results
Patch Sensor was unplugged for road opening.
Relying on cylinder breaks only would have required waiting 48 hours.
