The concrete industry is changing in the U.S. as a result of combining half-century old science with state-of-the-art technology. The intelliRock system, from Engius, LLC in Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA, is a disposable electronic sensor that is embedded in fresh concrete. The system enables immediate determination of in-place concrete strength, and easy dissemination of critical-path concrete strength information to those making construction workflow decisions. The benefits of having this accurate and immediate concrete strength available include increased speed, reduced costs, and improved safety.
