Precise Post Tensioning for Stronger Foundations
Post tension concrete is a method of reinforcing concrete using high-strength steel tendons that are tensioned after the concrete has cured. This technique allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and greater load capacity, making it ideal for various construction projects including commercial, residential, and infrastructure developments.
High-strength steel tendons are strategically placed within the concrete formwork before pouring, enabling effective tensioning after curing.
Post tensioning involves applying tension to the steel tendons, which compresses the concrete and enhances its structural integrity.
Completed slabs showcase the precision and strength of post tensioning, suitable for large spans and heavy loads.
Reduces material costs, allows for longer spans, and minimizes cracking, resulting in durable and cost-effective structures.
Commonly used in parking garages, bridges, stadiums, and commercial buildings for its strength and flexibility.
Post tensioning enables innovative architectural designs with open spaces and large unsupported areas.
Involves precise placement of tendons, pouring concrete, and tensioning tendons after curing to achieve desired structural properties.
