Evolution of a concrete “digital twin” combining sensors that detect curing rates with building information modelling has allowed one Hong Kong contractor to strike its pours 38% faster.
Covid-19 is regarded as the cause of an accelerated uptake of technology worldwide. And that is certainly the case in Hong Kong where in the last six months the construction industry has adopted a purely technical solution for determining concrete integrity by using sensors instead of crushing cubes.
The next step, described as a world first by Gammon Construction and construction technology pioneer Converge, has been to integrate sensors and building information modelling (BIM) via the new Converge ConcreteDNA Pro system. The technology creates a digital twin of concreting on site, offering real time visibility of pours, curing rates and productivity.

Converge launches Signal Long Range™, a revolutionary fully embedded sensor system delivering autonomous real-time concrete monitoring, with wireless range across up to 72 acres with a single gateway. Ideal for large-scale infrastructure projects, Signal Long Range™ integrates seamlessly with ConcreteDNA™ to drive faster, smarter, and more sustainable construction decisions.
Converge has closed $22M round to cut CO₂e from concrete using AI and real-time data from sensors. ABN AMRO led the round, joined by OGCI and other impact investors.
Discover how real-time concrete monitoring technology, like Converge's ConcreteDNA, is revolutionizing tilt-up construction by improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability through accurate tracking of concrete curing and strength.
