PHONO Concrete Detection and Compaction Monitoring

Enhance concrete quality with the PHONO Concrete Compaction Sensor
The PHONO Concrete Detection and Compaction Monitoring system provides real-time information during concreting to help verify fill levels and compaction quality - even in areas that are difficult to access or visually inspect.

Concreting against existing structures can present challenges. Our concrete compaction sensor provides accurate data in real time so you can act accordingly to minimise the risk of any damage.

Monitoring compaction levels during the concreting process can reduce test drilling and potential rework. Instead of drilling a test hole, you can use the sensor to check for the presence of concrete. This will help you save time and resources, whilst ensuring a high concrete quality.

The concrete compaction sensor also allows you to measure compaction levels from below with concrete pumps. The sensor can be integrated into our formwork systems or embedded into the pours.

PHONO in action

  • How does PHONO work?
    Watch the video to find out more.
  • The sensor can be fixed to formwork systems, or embedded into the concrete pour.
    Reliable Quality Control

    The concrete compaction sensors work by using high-frequency sound pulses. This determines whether it is surrounded by air, liquid or concrete to understand the degree of compaction.

    Monitor fill levels and compaction in real time to ensure concrete is placed and compacted correctly, even in areas with dense reinforcement or limited visibility.

  • The analysis results are presented to you in a simple traffic light logic. Each measuring point can be analyzed in a flash, so you can act immediately if deviations occur.
    Clear, Actionable Feedback

    Results are displayed using a simple traffic light logic, providing an instant visual indication of compaction quality and helping teams take corrective action immediately.

Applications

  • Areas with dense reinforcement where visual inspection is difficult.

  • Pours against existing concrete structures or walls.

  • Upward pours and confined spaces with limited access.

  • Verification around embedded parts and anchor zones.

  • Projects requiring digital quality assurance and traceable compaction data.
