[0033] The work area on-site monitoring personnel go to the pier body maintenance place every day for 4 time periods, scan the code (pier body paste two-dimensional code) to determine the pier body related information (such as strength grade, pouring date, maintenance period, maintenance condition, etc.), then use Dingding software to punch the card (the main purpose is that the system can query the specific punch card position and punch card time, and there is position positioning), and watermark camera software to edit related information (such as: engineering name, pier column number, environmental temperature, maintenance period, concrete temperature, covering condition, etc. Watermark camera software displays environmental temperature function), and sends related photos to the common work group (WeChat or QQ), so that relevant leaders can master the pier body maintenance monitoring information in the first time, and the data clerk will register the account according to the photo uploading time and content, and make a good record, so as to hold responsible for the concrete cracks caused by the unmonitored temperature due to human laziness and inaction in the later period.

[0034] The pier body maintenance monitoring group leaders and members regularly check the maintenance situation on site, find out the problems, check the Dingding software punch card and watermark camera software in the first time, and rectify and hold responsible for the pier columns and personnel who do not complete the examination.

[0035] After 14d of pier body maintenance, the on-site same condition maintenance test piece is subjected to compressive strength test to determine whether it meets the design strength of 75%, if it meets the requirement, the temperature monitoring can be stopped.
