3 days saved per slab. 90% fewer field-cured cylinders. ~$120,000 in direct cost savings.

That's what SmartRock® delivered for the Alameda Central Stage 2 project in Lima, Peru, a 22-level high-rise built under an 11-month fixed schedule with penalties for delays.

Implemented by SmartNow-Lab, the old workflow meant waiting 3–7 days for lab results before releasing slabs. With SmartRock paired with Giatec 360™, the team monitored concrete strength in real time, and acted on it.

The results:
✅ 32% faster slab release
✅ 15% reduction in cement content
✅ 20–25% faster structural cycle
✅ 18–20% lower concrete-related costs
✅ Zero concrete rejections

In a market where deadlines are fixed and budgets are tight, concrete intelligence is a competitive advantage.

Innovation starts in the classroom. 🏫

Since 2022, Giatec has proudly sponsored the ACI Committee 123 Student Presentation Award in partnership with the American Concrete Institute, celebrating students whose research is shaping the next era of concrete technology.

But for our co-founders Pouria Ghods and Aali Alizadeh, this is more than a sponsorship. Their own journey started exactly where these students are today - in a university lab, learning from failure, and finding their footing through the ACI community.

"Supporting students today is our way of paying forward what ACI once gave to us." - Pouria Ghods, Co-Founder, Giatec

We are proud to continue growing this partnership and investing in the talent that will define what comes next.

Check out the winners over the years!

We are proud to introduce the Solar SmartHub™, completing SmartRock® Long Range solution into the most remote and off-grid job sites in the world.

"Whether you are pouring a bridge deck in a rural corridor or placing foundations for a data center that does not yet have full site power, SmartRock Long Range is now the complete answer - transmitting live data to your team without compromise, on any project, without exception." said Aali Alizadeh, Co-Founder & CTO, Giatec.

Real-time concrete monitoring has always depended on one thing most remote job sites don't have: power. Roads, bridges, tunnels, and large-scale infrastructure projects in rural and off-grid environments have had no reliable way to capture live temperature and strength data throughout the curing process until now. The Solar SmartHub is a solar-powered gateway with a built-in battery sustaining up to four days of operation without direct sunlight, transmitting live sensor readings every 15 minutes across up to 1,000 ft (300 m) directly to the SmartRock Web dashboard and mobile app.

With the Solar SmartHub, there is no longer a project too remote, too off-grid, or too complex for real-time concrete intelligence. For the teams building the roads, bridges, and infrastructure that communities depend on, that distinction matters. Available now in North America, with international availability to follow.

A concrete load gets rejected.

Was it the water addition on-site? A missed moisture correction at batching? Transit time that ran too long?

When QC breaks down, it's rarely one thing, it's a gap somewhere in the chain between plant and placement.

Our new Concrete Delivery & Production Standards Checklist is designed to close those gaps at every stage:
📋 Before Dispatch: mix designs, material quantities, truck readiness
📋 In Transit: drum rotation, timing, load verification
📋 Post-Delivery: outcomes, test results, team feedback

Free to download. Built for QC staff and delivery professionals who want fewer rejected loads and more consistent results.

Decades at IBM Research. Years at Autodesk. Then a company built to solve one of construction's most stubborn problems.

We're thrilled to have Francesco "Frio" Iorio, Co-Founder & CEO of Augmenta, on the latest episode of The Construction Revolution Podcast.

Augmenta's AI platform takes high-level design intent and translates it into fully constructible 3D building systems acting as a virtual BIM design team for contractors who can't afford to slow down.

We cover the synthetic data approach that cracked spatial AI, how design errors drive waste and rework, and the roadmap to whole-building AI-assisted design.

If you're thinking about where AI fits in the future of construction, this one is for you.

For over 70 years, B & B Concrete Co., Inc. has built its reputation on delivering consistent, high-quality concrete across North Mississippi.

But as operations scaled, maintaining that level of consistency required more visibility into what was happening between the plant and the job site.

With Giatec® MixPilot™, B & B gained real-time insight into slump, temperature, and in-transit conditions, empowering their team to make faster decisions, reduce variability, and improve overall efficiency.
