SlumpScan didn't start in a lab. It started at the end of a concrete chute, at age 8, with a mix that came out all wrong.
I got into concrete early. When my dad decided to build storage units, I was the one running the chute — trying to help the family business at 8 years old.
I can still remember my dad's frustration when he asked for a wetter mix and it came out completely watery. That moment stuck with me — not just the frustration, but what it revealed: how much was being left to interpretation on a job site.
As I got older, I kept seeing the same thing — small miscommunications about the mix turning into real problems with quality and speed. Nobody had a better answer than experience and feel.
Years later, I founded 605 Edging — installing decorative concrete curbing from scratch, managing every variable myself: water content, temperature, mix ratios, timing.
After throwing out countless batches and spending months looking for a fix, I realized crews everywhere were doing the same thing — leaning on experience and finishing skill to cover for an inconsistent mix. There was no objective measurement. No standard anyone could point to on the job.
The problem wasn't skill. It was the lack of a tool that made the invisible visible.
Now, as a student at SD Mines, I have both the technical foundation and the network to build the tool I always wished existed on the job site.
SlumpScan is designed to make concrete consistency measurable, reliable, and accessible — on every pour, for every crew. Not just the ones with decades of experience and a good feel for the mix.
The goal is simple: give contractors the same confidence a seasoned foreman has, backed by real data.
SlumpScan is built on years of real job site experience — the kind you can't learn from a textbook.
Whether you're a contractor, engineer, or ready mix supplier — we'd love to hear from you.
