About Wireless Mass Concrete Temperature Monitoring & Maturity Sensor
Wireless Mass Concrete Temperature Monitoring & Maturity Sensor VedaLite by Vedantrik Technologies
For Temperature controlled concrete and other concrete members.
Mass concrete elements such as rafts of High rise buildings, dams, thick foundations, piers, piles, and hot-block castings generate significant internal heat due to the exothermic hydration of cement. If this heat is not properly monitored, thermal gradients develop between the core and surface, leading to thermal stresses, micro-cracking, reduced durability, and long-term structural risks.
International standards such as ASTM C1074 (Concrete Maturity Method) explain how temperature history can be used to calculate maturity and strength development using scientific models like the NurseSaul and Arrhenius equations. This method allows engineers to predict real-time strength, optimize curing, and make informed decisions about formwork removal and prestressing operations.
Introducing VedaLite Wireless Concrete Temperature & Maturity Sensor
VedaLite by Vedantrik Technologies (Mumbai, India) is an advanced wireless concrete temperature monitoring and maturity system designed for mass concrete, high-rise buildings, infrastructure, and precast applications worldwide.
This innovative single wireless module is capable of measuring temperature at four critical locations simultaneously and also gives the Idea of thermal gradient:
- Ambient temperature
- Top of the concrete
- Middle of the concrete
- Bottom of the concrete
This multi-point sensing approach ensures accurate thermal profiling of rafts, dams, foundations, piers, piles, and thick structural elements.
Why Wireless Monitoring is Superior
Traditional wired temperature monitoring systems face multiple challenges:
- Signal errors due to long wire lengths
- Wire damage during reinforcement and concreting
- Data loss or inaccurate readings
- Complex installation and maintenance
VedaLite wireless technology eliminates these problems by:
- Removing long wire runs
- Preventing damage during casting
- Ensuring reliable, uninterrupted data
- Reducing installation time and labour costs
Economical Single-Module Multi-Point Monitoring
Unlike conventional systems that require multiple sensors and cables, VedaLite uses a single compact module to monitor four critical points.
This makes it:
- More economical
- Faster to deploy
- Easier to manage on large sites
- Ideal for high-rise rafts, dams, and infrastructure projects
Battery-Operated No 24/7 Power Dependency
VedaLite operates on a long-lasting battery for up to 60 days, which:
- Eliminates the need for continuous power supply
- Reduces site dependency on generators
- Ensures uninterrupted monitoring even in remote locations
Real-Time Data, Memory & Graphical Analysis
The system features:
- Inbuilt memory for continuous data logging
- Temperature vs. time graphical representation
- Wireless connectivity with mobile phones and laptops
- Real-time monitoring from anywhere on site
This allows engineers to:
- Track temperature rise and fall
- Control thermal gradients
- Prevent cracking
- Make informed construction decisions
Sacrificial and Reusable System Options
Vedantrik offers flexible solutions:
- Low-cost sacrificial wirless Concrete temperature multi-point sensing modules for single-use projects (mostly prefferd as No huge investment or high upfront cost involved)
- Reusable transmitter modules where only the sensors are sacrificial and transmitter is Re-Usable with extra cost.
This provides cost-effective solutions for both large infrastructure and repetitive construction projects.
Maturity & Strength Monitoring for Structural Concrete
When used in:
- Columns
- Beams
- Slabs
- Precast elements
- In-situ structures
- PT slabs
The same module can provide:
- Concrete maturity values
