CIPPOC's are a simple and economical method of determining the in-place strength of poured concrete for various structural elements, without the expense of coring and the uncertainty of separately cast and cured test cylinders.
CIPPOC's are placed in the path of
paving operations, filled and left in place until such time as reliable
strength data is needed. The test sample comes directly from the work,
with identical temperature and curing history as that evident in the
slab.
Saves time and money by allowing
decisions regarding form removal, re-shoring, post tensioning and the
application of artificial heat to be made based on actual concrete
strengths rather than specified curing times
