Abstract

As the Concrete Maturity Method is a widely recognized approach for estimating the strength development of freshly cast concrete. In the construction industry, Hutama Karya has advanced this method by developing a portable device equipped with sensors capable of real-time monitoring of concrete strength under actual site conditions. This portable system facilitates daily monitoring of temperature and strength development, offering an alternative to the traditional Universal Compressive Strength (UCS) test, which typically requires laboratory analysis to determine early-age concrete strength and maturity. The maturity method supports timely decisions on whether structural elements, such as formwork or other components, are ready for subsequent construction stages. By reducing reliance on conventional testing methods, the portable tool minimizes resource demands for quality control and monitoring. The device has been deployed across several company projects and tested on various structural elements, including formwork, columns, and girders. Comparative analysis between data from the portable tool and traditional methods has shown a high correlation, with R-values approaching 1.0—one instance reaching 0.899—demonstrating the tool’s accuracy and reliability. Overall, this innovation contributes to more efficient and sustainable construction practices by streamlining the concrete maturity assessment Process.
