"The Con-Cure Maturity Testing Program
has been an invaluable asset to Stevens Construction Corporation’s multistory Post
Tension concrete projects. When timing is critical for maintaining your pour schedule,
maturity tests insure that you are tensioning cables at the most opportune time. Using
Con-Cure Maturity Testing also cuts down on the amount of compressive break tests
required, saving money on testing. The Con-Cure system paid for itself on the first job it
was used on."
"We had no idea what maturity testing was all
about when we first contacted Con-Cure. We had just won a state bridge bid, and
maturity testing was in the spec. Once we started using it, my whole perspective changed.
It is now a mission-critical element of what we do. Here’s just one small way we have
saved a lot of money: we discovered that we could get by purchasing fewer forms for a
given project, because we could cycle forms so fast. For cold weather, it pays for itself
many times over each season. The training they provided with our system made all the
difference, by the way. Definitely consider that when ordering."
"Con-Cure has allowed us to save time on our
concrete schedule due to knowing instantly when the concrete achieves its strength and not
having to wait for a cylinder break. This will be an integral part of any future
post-tensioned concrete project due to the overall value it adds by allowing us to
maintain an aggressive and constant schedule for pouring, stripping and stressing of
post-tensioning cables associated with cast in place structural concrete"
"We couldn’t be more pleased with the
Con-Cure System and your service. We were able to avoid a $400,000 penalty by finishing a
major project on time, due in large part to maturity testing on the cast-in-place
concrete. You helped us make up 2 critical weeks by not waiting longer than we had to
before stressing and stripping." "Not only has it saved us a ton of money in
regards to heating costs, the Con-Cure system has saved us a lot of overtime pay, due to
not having to cover concrete until the next morning. Generally, we would stay
after-hours to cover the concrete with blankets, but the system tells us that the slabs
are still gaining strength and we don't need to cover them so early. Due to the
reading on the Con-Cure system, we are able to stress concrete in 2 days, versus the 3
days the cylinders were telling us, thus allowing us to strip forms sooner and move on
with the project. The readings we get with this system are much more reliable than
the strengths we get from the cylinders." "All contractors who are doing Post Tensioned
Cast In Place concrete frames should definitely be using the Con-Cure System for maturity
testing. Under today's fast pace of construction projects, knowing precisely when
you can stress Post Tensioned tendons and begin stripping formwork for cycles is not only
necessary, but also a net cost savings for any contractor." "The system is easy to use. The data is
great and puts you in the control of curing. You no longer have to pour and hope
that lab cylinders come up." "The Con-Cure System has saved us money on
the very first project that it was used on. Knowing what the concrete PSI was told
us we could stress our PT cables and turn the heat off on the underside. I would
recommend the Con-Cure System for anybody that is dealing with cold weather
concrete. This is a product that puts the contractor in charge of his or her
project." |
