Startups start with ideas. Early on, they’re all vision. They’re never
concrete enough. And then there’s ConcR, a Berlin-based company that
only does concrete. In a smart way.
Here’s the story:
In construction, a lot of things can go wrong if you get your concrete
phase wrong.
You could be looking at long term structural integrity issues and low
speed and higher costs of moving to the next phases.
Just like with everything else, foundational mistakes are hard and
expensive to fix later on.
This is where ConcR comes in.
They provide Concrete-Monitoring as a Service to medium to large-sized
construction contractors.
By monitoring temperature, they make sure construction companies get
concrete stiffness and quality right. This saves time, reduces costs,
increases quality, and safety, simplifies project management. It also
makes long-term maintenance simpler.
Their sensors attach or integrate into builds and send data through
mobile NB-IoT or LTE networks. They are also ASTM C1074, DIN EN 13670
and DIN 1045-3 certified.
Or as they put it:
“We've developed true wireless sensors that accurately monitor the
quality and report remotely in real time what's happening with concrete
on the job site, so the contractors never have to wait again for the
traditional, time consuming, and wasteful laboratory tests before they
are allowed to keep on building.”
