Tarmac, a CRH company and the UK’s leading sustainable construction materials provider, is offering its customers access to advanced AI-enhanced digital sensors that can help to optimise concrete mixes, lower carbon emissions and reduce on-site construction time.
Partnering with Converge, a UK-based specialist in construction technology, Tarmac is offering market-wide access to the new innovative technology that combines sophisticated wireless sensors with predictive artificial intelligence (AI). The sensors gather real-time data that, when combined with the AI modelling, can predict concrete strength, ultimately speeding up construction projects and reducing carbon emissions.
All of Tarmac’s customers will be able to specify the new technology, making it simpler and more accessible for small and medium-sized contractors to use and benefit from the innovation which until now has often only been available to teams working on major projects.
It follows an extensive exploration process of Converge’s technology by CRH Ventures, the venture capital arm of CRH, which led to a 12-month pilot by Tarmac to assess the solution and its commercial possibilities.
The technology is being made available to all of Tarmac’s concrete customers as a ‘one-stop shop’ as part of the company’s new CEVO brand, which is helping procurement teams to make informed decisions and specify lower carbon concrete mixes and solutions. The sensors are easy to use at approximately 3-4cm long and clip onto the steel reinforcements around which ready-mixed concrete is poured.
