SONO moisture probes, the new dimension to quality control - just as efficient as it is economic!

The quality of fresh concrete is the decisive factor for the stability and durability of concrete constructions. Parameters, such as moisture, cement content, and slope are hereby the decisive factors. Only if they are controlled, can an ideal quality be warranted on a long term basis. The new SONO sensors convince with innovative features:

  • Exact moisture values and material composition with RbC (Radar-based- Conductivity).
  • Auto-Calibration after abrasion and therefore long time stability.
  • Integrated evaluation without need of additional evaluation units and therefore a better price performance in comparison to other moisture probes.
  • Simple configuration and interface for network operation.
  • In comparison to Microwave probes, SONO probes provide accurate measurement values even when aggregates are exposed to steam in winter and where the sand and the gravel feature differing grain sizes.
Further advantages in many applications of the well proven SONO sensors can be seen when you look through the downloadable brochures.

News from research: DynTDR-project

The real-time detection of soil water content of arable land using a TDR Sensor was developed in a joint project of the University of Hohenheim and IMKO GmbH from Nov.2003 to Nov.2006 as part of the BMBF program “Agricultural engineering – integrated environmental protection in agriculture”. The project duration was extended to Dez.2007. Main focus of the project extension is the test of the developed sensor in the field praxis.

News from research: ILEWS-project

Since May 1st, 2007 IMKO participates in a research project for early warning systems in earth management as part of the BMBF/ DFG special program “GEOTECHNOLOGIES”. The collaborative project is a joint partnership of the University of Bonn, the University of Vienna, the University of Dortmund and the companies Terrestris (Bonn), GeoFact (Bonn), geomer GmbH (Heidelberg) and IMKO GmbH (Ettlingen). The project aims the development of an integrative early warning system for gravitational mass movements (project short title “ILEWS”). Dr.Ing. Rolf Becker (IMKO GmbH) presides the cluster “Monitoring”. Within this cluster IMKO contributes coordination, integration and optimisation of a multi-sensor system for monitoring gravitational mass movements. The project duration is May 2007-May 2010.
