Selkent, a leading UK supplier of construction fixings and tools, will be the exclusive distributor of the Maturix intelligent sensor system. The Maturix unit provides real-time monitoring of concrete temperature, strength, and maturity, giving an accurate report from inside concrete elements as they are curing and drying.

The innovative concrete monitoring system enables construction project engineers to make operational decisions based on real-time data, which is proven to increase project efficiency, cut costs, and enhance quality control.

Crucially, the system utilises inexpensive thermocouples embedded in the structure to perform the monitoring, removing the need to sacrifice expensive cast-in sensors and lowering running costs. Other monitoring systems currently in use are buried into the concrete whereas the Maturix unit can be disconnected and reused. Not only does this help to keep project costs down, but it also generates less onsite waste and offers a more sustainable option.

Vaughan Bushnell, Director at Selkent, commented: “This technology addresses a critical need in our industry for precise, real-time data on concrete performance and the curing process. By offering Maturix products, we’re empowering our clients to optimise their construction processes, and deliver higher quality and cost-efficient results.”

The system’s intelligent sensors enable remote data collection of concrete temperatures and curing duration, and automatically saves information as online reports, streamlining documentation and quality assurance processes. The Maturix software provides data to detect issues early by identifying the smallest changes in concrete properties, enabling timely intervention to prevent potential structural problems.

These capabilities lead to improved scheduling and cost savings, as real-time condition monitoring facilitates more efficient maintenance and repair scheduling, potentially extending the structure’s lifetime and helping to avoid significant liabilities throughout a building’s lifecycle.

Bushnell added: “The construction industry is increasingly embracing digital solutions to enhance productivity and sustainability. Maturix’s concrete monitoring technology offers clients a competitive edge in project management and quality control.”

As the exclusive UK distributor, Selkent will provide comprehensive support for Maturix products, including sales, installation guidance, and ongoing customer service.
