Introduction
Webber, tasked with a critical highway construction project for the Texas Department of Transportation, faced the challenge of minimizing roadway closure times while ensuring full compliance with the DOT Concrete Thermal Plan.
Challenges
1. Efficient Reopening of Roadways
Reducing the time roadways were closed for repairs was the primary objective — minimizing disruption to the public and tightening project timelines.
2. DOT Concrete Thermal Plan Compliance
Ensuring concrete maintained temperature thresholds per regulatory requirements was critical for structural integrity and longevity of the roadway.
3. Liability Reduction
Accurately tracking concrete performance over time was essential to decrease potential future liabilities related to the project.
Sensytec's Solution
Sensytec deployed sensors to provide continuous, real-time data on temperature, strength, and curing progress. This enabled rapid adjustments, accelerated the repair process, and ensured continuous compliance with the DOT Concrete Thermal Plan.
Key Results
Conclusion
By integrating Sensytec's sensors, Webber exceeded project objectives — compressing the timeline, reducing testing overhead, maintaining regulatory compliance, and delivering a robust dataset that reduced owner liability.
