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.
