When it comes to concrete, temperature is everything.
TCR Engineering’s Civil Testing Laboratory, based in Mahape, Navi Mumbai, offers on-site temperature monitoring of fresh concrete at construction sites across India — a service that is critical to ensuring durability, safety, and structural performance.
Why Does Concrete Temperature Monitoring Matter?
Concrete might be the most widely used construction material in the world, but it’s surprisingly sensitive in its early life. The curing process is driven by hydration — a chemical reaction that is directly affected by temperature. If the concrete gets too hot or too cold during this stage, it can lead to:
Slowed or poor strength development
Thermal cracking
Premature setting
Structural compromise
Whether you're building a high-rise in the Mumbai heat or laying a bridge in cold northern regions, temperature control is key to quality.
TCR’s Expertise and Field Support
TCR Engineering deploys real-time temperature monitoring systems at project sites to give engineers the critical data they need, right when they need it.
Our systems use embedded thermocouple sensors placed directly within the concrete mix. These sensors continuously capture temperature data throughout the curing process — providing accurate, actionable insights to help avoid costly structural issues.
Where Temperature Monitoring Is Essential:
Mass concrete pours (e.g., dams, basements, bridge piers)
Hot or cold climate zones
High-performance or fast-setting concrete applications
Critical load-bearing elements
Standards We Follow:
We ensure full compliance with international norms:
ASTM C1064 – Measuring temperature of fresh concrete
ASTM C1074 – Maturity method for strength estimation
ACI 305 – Hot Weather Concreting
ACI 306 – Cold Weather Concreting
Why Choose TCR Engineering?
With over five decades of material testing expertise and a pan-India reach, TCR Engineering brings precision, reliability, and field-proven methods to your job site. Our temperature monitoring services are customizable, standards-compliant, and backed by engineering professionals who understand the science behind every pour.
Don’t let temperature sabotage your concrete strength. Monitor it. Control it. Build with confidence — with TCR Engineering.
