Replacing cement through data analytics and process control

Highway safety is a critical factor to one of the most vital parts of society's infrastructure. Slipform paving provides an economical means to quickly construct concrete barriers and drainage channels, which contribute to a highway's safety. This study follows a slipform paving company's journey in implementing an in-transit management system which can measure and adjust slump during the delivery of concrete. By allowing the system to manage the rheology, both productivity and material savings (through cement) were achieved. Furthermore, the system enables an immediately viable method to significantly reduce embodied carbon dioxide for the concrete industry.
