Durability and Service Life monitoring
Construction companies
Our monitoring system can be applied directly on-site with very little training, so construction companies can monitor structural concrete elements in service conditions. This helps understand the key variables that influence durability and control concrete suppliers.
Ready-mix producers
Ready-mix concrete companies can benefit from our monitoring system with embedded sensors in order to charaterize their mix designs and later monitor them on site, making sure that pouring and curing have been done properly, avoiding claims from clients.
Precast factories
Precast manufacturers must guarantee that their units comply with the designed service life, and monitoring the concrete from the inside with embedded sensors is the best way to obtain proof of perfromance and to improve elements' designs.
Testing laboratories
Testing laboratories make use of our embedded electrical resistivity sensors to avoid cumbersome testing and to provide additional services to their clients in the form of continuous monitoring of their structures.
Our Concrete Resistivity & Durability System
- Embedded sensors for electrical resistivity of concrete, to measure this key property from the inside and in real-life structural elements.
- Rugged reader/transmitter that can be placed outdoors for years with IP68 level protection.
- Wireless transmission of data via mobile phone network anywhere in the world; WiFi optional for factories and labs.
- Full-fledged mobile & PC app with charts, alerts, configuration, and fully integrated into the Concrete Quality software.
Applicable Standards
- American Standard for RCPT – ASTM C 1202 – 19: Standard Test Method for Electrical Indication of Concrete’s Ability to Resist Chloride Ion Penetration
- American Standard ASTM C1876 – 19: Standard Test Method for Bulk Electrical Resistivity or Bulk Conductivity of Concrete
- European Standard EN 12390 – 19: Testing of Hardened Concrete – Part 19: Determination of Resistivity (currently in draft)

About Us
We’re consultants for concrete production & technology, QA/QC, and mix design. We’re software developers, with a full system for digital transformation of production and quality control of concrete operations.
We’re concrete technologists and scientists, with experience in monitoring and durability. We’re the inventors of this new system with embedded sensors that will revolutionize how Service Life is predicted and Durability is assessed and verified.
Our Vision
We have the vision that Service Life prediction of concrete structures can be simple and accessible to all. We want to eliminate human fatalities due to durability failures, and to improve mix design to reduce carbon footprint based on continuous monitoring with embedded sensors, using the best science knowledge available worldwide.
Our Mission
Our goal is to make our system the number one choice for durability assessment of concrete, complying with international standards. Besides our patented system we can add other monitoring data, such as corrosion potential, chloride ingress, etc., into our predictive models and alerts system, to obtain a full picture of durability and service life.
Our Values
We support with our consulting expertise all of our clients, to make the most of our system. We accompany you through the monitoring plan design, installation of the sensors, mix design optimization, and interpretation of data and predictions.
