Long Range Wireless Concrete Sensors

Concrete performance during curing is one of the highest-risk phases of any build. Yet it is often monitored with limited, manual data.

Long range wireless concrete sensors change this.  Simply by providing continuous, internal measurements of temperature and strength development across large sites over 300 M.

The Converge Signal Long Range™ system is designed for projects.  Where scale, access, and reliability matter — delivering real-time insight without cables, site visits, or guesswork.

Converge Signal Long Range™

Long Range Wireless Concrete Sensors for Large Construction Sites

The Converge Signal Long Range™ is a fully embedded long range wireless concrete sensor. Designed to monitor concrete temperature and strength development across large and complex construction sites. It provides continuous, real-time data during curing without cables, manual readings, or repeated site access.

Metromatics supplies Signal Long Range™ across Australia, supporting building and infrastructure projects that require reliable, scalable concrete monitoring with minimal on-site intervention.


Engineered Simplicity

Signal Long Range™ is built around the principle of engineered simplicity.

There are no external cables, no handheld readers, and no daily manual downloads. Once installed, the sensor operates autonomously. Transmitting data wirelessly to a fixed gateway for the duration of the pour and curing cycle.

This simplicity reduces installation errors, site disruption, and labour overhead while improving data reliability.


Signal Long Range™ with Fixed Tails

Signal Long Range Concrete Sensor with built in probes

The Signal Long Range™ with Fixed Tails configuration is designed for projects where defined measurement depths are required.

Fixed thermal tails allow temperature monitoring at predetermined locations within the concrete element, supporting:

  • Thermal gradient analysis

  • Mass concrete monitoring

  • Verification of curing conditions at critical depths

Each sensor can be supplied with single or multiple fixed tails. Therefore, enabling multiple internal measurement points from a single embedded device.


Why Use Long Range Wireless Concrete Sensors?

Concrete behaviour during curing directly impacts:

  • Structural performance

  • Crack risk due to thermal gradients

  • Timing of formwork removal

  • Project schedule certainty

 

Traditional methods such as cylinders or wired thermocouples provide limited insight and require ongoing manual effort.

Long range wireless concrete sensors provide continuous internal data. Therefore, allowing engineers and site teams to make informed, evidence-based decisions in real time.


Key Features

Fully Embedded, Cable-Free Design

Sensors install directly into fresh concrete and remain embedded throughout the monitoring period. As a result, teams eliminate cables, surface hardware, and manual intervention entirely.

Installation of Signal Long Range Sensor

Long Range Site Coverage

Designed for large construction sites. Signal Long Range™ supports extended wireless communication distances. Therefore, allowing a single fixed gateway to service wide areas without relocation during pours.

Real-Time Temperature and Strength Monitoring

Internal concrete temperature data is continuously captured and used to calculate maturity and strength development throughout curing.

Multiple Measurement Points

Fixed tail options allow multiple internal temperature readings from one sensor, supporting detailed thermal profiling in large pours.

Rugged Construction

Sensors are sealed, waterproof, and designed to withstand harsh construction environments. Such as vibration, moisture, and alkaline exposure.


Typical Applications

  • Large slabs and raft foundations

  • Infrastructure and transport projects

  • Tunnels and underground structures

  • High-rise buildings and podium decks

  • Data centres and industrial facilities

 

The long-range architecture is for projects where sensor access becomes difficult once placement is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Signal Long Range™ installed on site?

Tie the sensor prior to the concrete pour. It becomes fully embedded once placement is complete. No further access is required during curing.


What is the advantage of fixed tails?

Fixed tails allow engineers to monitor temperature at specific depths, supporting thermal gradient analysis and mass concrete assessment without installing multiple sensors.


Is this suitable for large or complex pours?

Yes. The long-range wireless system and multi-point measurement feature are for large pours and complex site layouts.


Does the system require ongoing maintenance during curing?

No. Once installed and activated, the sensor operates autonomously for the duration of the monitoring period.


Data for reporting and compliance?

Export Data for quality assurance records, strength verification, and project documentation, supporting engineering sign-off and audit requirements.
