We are developing an automated tool kit for concrete monitoring

For cost reasons,
the contractors need to optimize the construction phases while ensuring the reliability of the structure.
The quality requirements are getting stronger and stronger and the maintenance must be cost effective.
Our goal is to provide a low cost on-line monitoring system for assessing the concrete quality from very early age, and to very long term.

The system consists in ultrasonic measurements based on low-cost embedded piezoelectric transducers.
In a nutchell, the system relies on an emitter and a receiver. An ultrasonic wave is generated by the emitter and is caught by the receiver.
Compared to external transducers, embedding the transducers into the structure allows for
| Performing in-situ & on-line measurements at any time from very early age and in presence of formworks Measurements in unaccessible locations when the structure is is service, underwater or in hazardous and dangerous places The automation and a better reproducibility of the measurements An added flexibility of transducers arrangements and in the propagation paths A better efficiency thanks to an enhanced coupling with the concrete (without coupling agents) for stronger waves generation over longer paths A better integration in the overall design of the structure A better protection of the transducers from environmental and accidental attacks |

The transducers are connected to a web platform which processes the data to provide a real-time monitoring of the strength, the Young’s modulus and the potential appearance of cracks.
