Sewerage Strategy , the project led by Severn Trent in the UK ’ s Midlands . Executed by Galliford Try , the construction phase involved building a new Combined Sewer Overflow ( CSO ) in Stroud , Gloucestershire . The project aimed to enhance sewer capacity and storm storage while reducing flood risks by transferring flows to the new CSO site . Facing the challenge of efficient concrete pouring for the second trunk sewer , Galliford Try adopted SmartRock to effectively monitor real-time temperature to validate their temperature differentials from the core relative to the surface . The user-friendly design and wireless capabilities of the sensors significantly improved operational efficiency , resulting in a 50 % increase in productivity . Likewise , Galliford Try successfully navigated the construction phase , highlighting the pivotal role of SmartRock in achieving its project goals .
Revolutionising construction , one mass concrete element at a time
SmartRock shows temperature and strength data in the mobile app .
The contemporary landscape of construction has made the integration of mass concrete elements indispensable to move the industry forward . However , achieving robust structures requires that concrete temperature remains within prescribed limits to avert thermal stress to assure safety and quality . To overcome these challenges in mass concrete , real-time monitoring of temperature is now streamlined with innovative solutions like SmartRock , the advanced sensors that offer precise , wireless monitoring , exemplified in projects like the Stroud Sewerage Strategy , where SmartRock facilitated efficient concrete pouring and boosted productivity . This underscores the pivotal role of technology in achieving project objectives in modern construction endeavors . �
