RADISE International Welcomes Fla. Gov. Rick Scott to SMART STRUCTURES Manufacturing Facility
RADISE International recently hosted Gov. Rick Scott and Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera at the grand opening of its SMART STRUCTURES manufacturing facility in West Palm Beach, FL, which is anticipated to create over 60 new jobs in the next few years. Governor Scott presented Kumar with the Governors’ Business Ambassador Award for his achievements and involvement with Enterprise Florida.
The SMART STRUCTURES technology is used globally for monitoring concrete structures and structural elements. Its Embedded Data Collector (EDC) technology allows for the monitoring of concrete structures from fabrication through the life cycle of the structure. This technology can lower project costs by reducing overbuild factors (Factors of Safety {FOS}), expediting construction time, lowering risk and increasing structural certainty.
More than 100 FDOT bridge projects have been completed using EDC technology, and new projects are ongoing in Florida, Virginia, Louisiana, Texas and California. The SMART STRUCTURES technology will be complemented by RADISE’s Engineering Design Group and Field Support Personnel.
