Performance-Based Temperature Differential Limit Feature for the LumiCon
By Brickeye
Through real-time data and analytics on mass concrete projects, the Performance-Based Temperature Differential Limit method provides contractors, engineers and project owners with a temperature differential limit directly tied to the concrete’s strength. This approach enables an increased allowed temperature differential, while still maintaining a safe threshold, through monitoring of the maximum temperature and temperature differentials.
Thanks to ruggedized IoT-enabled sensors and devices, project stakeholders can remotely and continuously access data in real-time, transmitted directly from the jobsite to the cloud, without needing to be onsite to assess temperature or strength data.

Plate 2000 Big Foot System Float Pan Saver
By Plate 2000 Inc.
The solution is designed for leveling floors and making float pans last longer.Plate 2000 (PK2)
The Big Foot System helps promote flatness of concrete finishing. The company's patented design achieves this by distributing the weight of the power trowel. This results in fast finishing times and durability of the float pan. Unlike a typical float pan that only has 40% of its surface in contact with the concrete, approximately 70% of the Big Foot's surface engages with the concrete.

The SF-3404 paves a maximum of 40 ft. (12 m) and features telescoping endpans for 2 ft. (61 cm) of width flexibility on each end.Power Pavers Inc.
New with the SF-3404 is an optional compact, fully-controlled Dowel Bar Insertion (DBI) system. It is equipped with a hydraulic floating floor to maintain the integrity of the initial slab and support reconsolidation around dowel bars after the insertion process. Each time the DBI runs, the carriage recalibrates with electronic sensors to check the floor is exactly where it should be. In addition, the DBI is split to facilitate crowning and bar placement. Each bar is held and guided into the concrete to prevent skewing, even while crowning. When running DBI, the machine utilizes a collision avoidance system to prevent center tie bars and DBI from inserting at the same location.
