ACCIONA has come up with a new digital platform so as to track the quality as well as maturity of concrete on its projects, named DIGICONCRETE.
Interestingly, the digital tool is said to enhance the efficiency of quality control and traceability processes when it comes to structural concrete elements on site. It also helps with real-time tracking when it comes to on-site concrete placement through offering remote access to information on the strength and progress of the concrete.
Dashboards would ensure DIGICONCRETE to speed up quality control along with the traceability processes pertaining to structural concrete on-site through digitizing data acquisition and also facilitating compliance verification along with applicable regulations. Moreover, it keeps teams informed in real time of the maturity level of every execution, decreasing the formwork and stripping times and also enhancing activity coordination on site, confirmed the firm.
In order to attain these objectives, as DIGICONCRETE to speed up quality control becomes a phenomenon, it makes use of innovative data capture technology like optical character recognition – OCR and also wireless devices with high-precision temperature sensors. The platform is accessible across all the mobile devices and tablets, as well as computers, thereby helping with collaboration between onsite teams as well as technical offices.
DIGICONCRETE is especially well suited to projects across the Middle East, where high temperatures along with demanding environmental conditions go on to make that accurate monitoring of concrete curing and also strength development particularly critical.
The platform apparently supports better decision-making when it comes to hot-climate construction environments, enabling the mitigation of the risks that are associated with accelerated setting times, enhancing the quality assurance, and also optimizing construction schedules. Its remote monitoring capabilities also go ahead and add value to large-scale infrastructure as well as building projects typical of the region.
As per ACCIONA, it has already executed DIGICONCRETE across numerous construction projects in Spain, such as the new Tax Agency headquarters in Valencia, the Palma de Mallorca Airport Terminal remodel, and the road construction project in Zaragoza, with the platform being positioned for more rollout throughout the international projects, including the Middle East.
