Working underground adds several layers of complexity. Access to castings is limited, temperature conditions fluctuate, and decision-making around concrete strength often happens under time pressure. By using a real-time monitoring solution, Veidekke can track the development of both temperature and strength remotely, from smartphones or desktops, without needing to rely on manual checks or frequent testing of cubes.

For structural elements such as roof slabs, they define a target strength and follow progress digitally, which helps improve planning and reduce wait times for formwork removal. This has been particularly useful for ensuring that the right decisions are made at the right time, even when working across different parts of a complex underground site.

In addition to supporting field decisions, the system has also helped simplify documentation. With lightweight hardware and a simple connection setup, it’s easy to deploy across the site. Reports can be exported directly to PDF and emailed, which has reduced the amount of time spent manually collecting and compiling data.
