Concremote makes concrete smarter
The new MedUni Campus Mariannengasse will meet the requirements of both a modern research facility and an internationally renowned educational institution. For this reason, the pre-clinical facilities that were previously scattered across the district will be brought together here. This will provide 35,000 square metres of space for world-class research, teaching and innovation. 750 scientists and approx. 2,000 students are expected to move here by the end of 2026. In order to ensure an efficient process during the shell construction phase, Oliver Gusella, Managing Director of Vasko+Partner, recommended Concremote for concrete monitoring to the construction company Gerstl Bau.
"Digital solutions facilitate collaboration and add value on site. We have already had very good experiences with Concremote and we value Doka as a competent partner in driving forward digitalisation on the construction site."

Challenges
- Tight schedule
- City centre construction site
- Large-scale project with 600-800 people involved
Customer requirements
- Adherence to the schedule
- Efficient use of formwork (as little material as necessary on site at the same time)
- Complete documentation
Concremote solution
- Slab sensors
- Calibration boxes
Time savings
Scheduling optimisation, determination of the precise time for stripping
Enhanced concrete quality
Data-supported communication and precise documentation
Cost reduction
More efficient formwork use
"We have been using Concremote on site for some time now, and it gives us tremendous advantages in terms of time and dynamics on site. The Concremote sensors are inserted into the fresh concrete and instantly provide real-time data on the fresh concrete temperature and the compressive strength development. This allows us to remove the formwork with pinpoint accuracy, reposition the slab formwork and reuse the sensor immediately."
Martin Stadler | Senior Foreman Gerstl Bau
"We use the Concremote slab sensor to monitor the concrete's compressive strength in real time. This has several advantages: we can remove the formwork faster, and we can use our formwork more efficiently. The great advantage of Concremote is: I can see the data in real time in my office! The foreman places the sensor in the fresh concrete outside and I can instantly see how the concrete is developing.
The biggest gimmick - especially on these inner-city sites - is, that we have significantly less formwork on site. This saves an infinite amount of space on the entire site. In addition, we have complete documentation of the concrete's compressive strength in real time."
