COMMAND Center™ is in full compliance with ASTM C1074, the current ASTM International Standard for monitoring in-place concrete maturity

In addition to fully complying with ASTM C1074, COMMAND Center™ purchases always include a free licensed copy of ASTM C1074 because we know how important it is to perform the test correctly.

The specification has been in place since 1987. It is highly recommended that any concrete maturity implementation include a thorough study of this standard along with project-specific documentation or specifications.

For more information about ASTM C1074 and licensing, please visit ASTM’s website.

This practice can be used to estimate the in-place strength of concrete to allow the start of critical construction activities such as: (1) removal of formwork and reshoring; (2) post-tensioning of tendons; (3) termination of cold weather protection; and (4) opening of roadways to traffic.
