Construction RFID Builds NYC Freedom Tower

Indentec Solutions enables the construction of the Freedom Tower through the use of Temperature Tracking Tags, which are used in the newly poured concrete to wirelessly transmit temperature information to a Concrete Maturity Monitoring System. ...

... "As the world's tallest building when completed, the Freedom Tower utilizes core footings which have a concrete strength of 14,000 psi, three times the norm and a record in the NYC construction industry. The Concrete Maturity Monitoring System (CMMS) provides a major change in the process of collecting temperature data at several locations within a concrete project. The CMMS eliminates the need for probes and wires attached to external devices. This will help the contractor determine ultimate concrete maturity and strength more effectively, thus cutting down on construction time and costs. " ...

RFID Construction Applications

RFID technology is applied in the construction industry to monitor the progress of concrete curing. ...

... "It measures temperature data retrieved from an RFID buried in the concrete. Then it puts the data into a maturity equation that compares the readings of the poured concrete with the results of two sample cylinders which were lab-tested before construction began. " ...
