Evolution of a concrete “digital twin” combining sensors that detect curing rates with building information modelling has allowed one Hong Kong contractor to strike its pours 38% faster.
Covid-19 is regarded as the cause of an accelerated uptake of technology worldwide. And that is certainly the case in Hong Kong where in the last six months the construction industry has adopted a purely technical solution for determining concrete integrity by using sensors instead of crushing cubes.
The next step, described as a world first by Gammon Construction and construction technology pioneer Converge, has been to integrate sensors and building information modelling (BIM) via the new Converge ConcreteDNA Pro system. The technology creates a digital twin of concreting on site, offering real time visibility of pours, curing rates and productivity.

Hyperscale data centers are among the most complex projects in modern construction. This article explores the challenges contractors face when delivering large-scale facilities and how monitoring technologies help manage risk and maintain quality.
Large data center foundations often involve mass concrete pours that generate significant heat during curing. Learn why temperature monitoring is essential for preventing thermal cracking and ensuring structural reliability in data center construction.
Explore why concrete monitoring is critical in modern data center construction. Learn how real-time temperature and curing data help contractors reduce risk, prevent thermal cracking, and keep mission-critical projects on schedule.
