Reduce the risk of voids
Ensure Complete Coverage Around Reinforcement by placing PHONO sensors at critical points to verify that concrete fully surrounds built-in components and dense reinforcement.
- Detect voids early
- Prevent structural weaknesses
- Improve placement accuracy
-
Optimize safety and the result when concreting against existing structures
PHONO sensors confirm concrete presence when pouring against existing structures, where visibility is limited.
- Enhance safety
- Avoid incomplete bonding
- Ensure consistent coverage
-
Minimize test drilling and rework
Replace invasive test drilling with non-destructive ultrasonic sensing to confirm concrete presence.
- Save time and costs
- Reduce structural disruption
- Streamline quality control
-
Monitor concrete level when pouring from below
Use PHONO sensors to track concrete level in real time during upward pours with concrete pumps.
- Avoid overfilling or underfilling
- Improve control in complex pours
- Ensure even distribution
-
Optimize compaction measures
PHONO sensors measure vibration levels near vibrators to assess and improve compaction quality.
- Quantify compaction energy
- Adjust techniques on the fly
- Achieve uniform concrete density
Product features
-
Simple analysis with clear visual data
The analysis results are presented to you in a simple traffic light logic. Each measuring point can be analyzed in a flash, so you can act immediately if deviations occur.
-
Precise, low-cost sonic sensor
Our sonic sensor works with high-frequency sound pulses. The sensor determines whether it is surrounded by air, liquid or concrete.
In addition, the sensor detects the low-frequency vibrations of the compaction vibrators to determine the degree of compaction.
A few steps to successful measurement
- Mounting of the sensors
Attach the sensors to the formwork, reinforcement or built-in parts. - Concreting and analyzing
Place the concrete and control the level in real time via the sensors. - Compacting and analyzing
Compact the concrete and control the measures with the ultrasonic sensors.
