AUSTIN, TX – COMMAND Center’s™ concrete temperature and maturity monitoring system has been pre-approved for inclusion in Hong Kong’s Construction Innovation and Technology Fund (CITF). This now enables qualified organizations to apply for funding that can be used to implement COMMAND Center’s™ innovative technology in construction projects. Some of Hong Kong’s largest contractors currently employ COMMAND Center™ on their projects to evaluate the in-place strength of concrete.
The Development Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region established the CITF to encourage wider adoption of innovative constructive methods and new technologies in the construction industry and to build a culture of innovation in practitioners and students. The CITF also aims to support construction technologies (e.g., machinery, equipment, software) that have proven to boost productivity, increase construction quality, improve site safety, or enhance environmental performance.
“Our construction industry faces a pressing need for enhanced construction processes and a sustainable workforce that can deliver transformational change in the next decade to stretch our ambition to bring Hong Kong construction to another new height. Leveraging innovation and technology is the catalyst to this transformation process.”
– Ir Chan Chi-chiu, Chairperson, Management Committee on CITF
The COMMAND Center™ concrete temperature and maturity system places small, self-powered sensors in fresh concrete to automatically measure temperature data at predetermined intervals. Data is stored internally and retrieved for analysis via free COMMAND Center™ software which visualizes temperature and temperature differential data, provides calibrated maturity curves based on user-entered break data, and calculates and displays maturity and corresponding strength data of in-place concrete as it cures. Construction teams use COMMAND Center™ to satisfy requirements for temperature and/or maturity monitoring, expedite project schedules, increase safety, and improve construction methods.
