Terracon and Brickeye Form Strategic Partnership to De-Risk Mass Concrete Across the U.S.

Partnership combines one of the nation's leading engineering and materials testing firms with proven in-place concrete monitoring

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Terracon, one of the nation's leading geotechnical engineering and materials testing firms, and Brickeye, the construction risk intelligence company behind LumiCon^®, announced a strategic partnership to change how mass concrete risk is managed on U.S. projects. Together, the companies will offer project teams technical assurance on concrete from preconstruction risk assessment through the final pour and reporting.

The partnership pairs Terracon's engineering consulting and field-testing expertise with Brickeye's LumiCon monitoring services. Terracon has more than 140 accredited laboratories, operated by one of the country's largest workforces of materials professionals and technicians. Brickeye's expertise includes real-time monitoring of more than 100,000 concrete pours across 4,500+ projects.

Mass concrete presents some of the most difficult-to-detect thermal risks in construction. On large placements, including bridges and dams as well as major transportation and energy infrastructure, temperature differentials can crack an element from the inside long before anything that may show on the surface. That damage can lead to costly rework, delays, litigation, and insurance claims. Yet risk assessment, testing, and monitoring are still often handled by separate providers working from separate data.

Terracon and Brickeye will deliver one integrated package that combines engineering consulting, materials testing, and continuous in-place concrete monitoring. The two companies will also build new preconstruction concrete de-risking offerings spanning software, construction insurance technology, and engineering services, ultimately reducing risk and delivering better project outcomes.

"The insight from decades of real-world concrete monitoring data, backed by Terracon's engineering expertise and consulting leadership, will continue to advance our concrete de-risking software and intelligence solutions," said Tim Angus, CEO of Brickeye.

Through this agreement, Brickeye has also acquired COMMAND Center™, Terracon's concrete temperature and maturity system. Welcoming COMMAND Center into the Brickeye portfolio expands one of the most robust concrete sensing and software platforms in the global construction industry. Combining decades of domain expertise, this move establishes the largest historical database of completed projects of any concrete intelligence company in the U.S. LumiCon and COMMAND Center will also expand U.S. manufacturing of advanced concrete monitoring products to support federal and national heavy civil and infrastructure projects.

The combined deployment includes more than 750,000 sensors in all 50 states and more than 25 countries, representing millions of unique data points and the richest set of embedded concrete performance data in the world, according to Angus.

"Terracon's partnership with Brickeye represents a strategic relationship that will provide U.S. clients with comprehensive concrete consulting, data, and effective tools to add greater certainty and validate concrete quality during preconstruction," said Gayle Packer, chair, president and CEO of Terracon. "We're excited to continue advancing solutions for our industry clients and partners."

COMMAND Center joins Brickeye

COMMAND Center was originally developed in 2003 for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It has since been used on thousands of projects, placing more than 560,000 sensors in concrete across highways, bridges, airfields, and other structures in more than 24 countries.

Customers now have the backing of Brickeye's global team, including software development and customer support, for faster product updates and more field support.

COMMAND Center sensors are built in the U.S., giving Brickeye an American-made product line and a domestic manufacturing base for LumiCon products.

"Our customers will reach the same people, at the same number, and get the same best-in-class service and technical support they've come to rely on. What changes is what we can now do for them. Joining forces with Brickeye unlocks a comprehensive suite of concrete technology services, reinforcing the value we deliver for our long-standing customers," said Matt Pittman, Director of Business Operations, COMMAND Center.
