Cemex has introduced i-Con, a new data-driven, digital solution, designed to help contractors deliver smarter, more efficient concrete construction, during the critical curing process.
Cemex i-Con provides contractors with real time insights using Bluetooth and maturity tracking to make faster and more accurate decisions about when to remove formwork, apply loads, or pour concrete. This reduces time, the reliance on third-party testing and field cured cubes; ultimately allowing contractors greater optimisation and control over their project delivery.
By enabling greater visibility of the compressive strength and temperature of concrete, Cemex i-Con’s new smart technology, is aimed at supporting a range of concrete applications from high-rise buildings and crane bases, to cast-in-place construction, bridges, tunnels and precast, using simple and easy-to-install wireless smart sensors, which are placed within the concrete formwork.
Cemex i-Con works across all Cemex concrete mixes and is part of Cemex's suite of added value digital tools, including BIM Plug-in software, which are designed to help contractors and specifiers improve their productivity, profitability, and sustainability, for intelligent, more efficient concrete construction. The reports generated by Cemex-i-Con can be used as part of BIM models, enabling users to upload detailed reports on concrete curing performance.
