Post Tension Services

Post-Tensioning is a construction technique used to reinforce concrete and other materials with high- strength steel strands or bars, typically referred to as tendons. These tendons are tensioned after the concrete has been cast and has reached a certain strength, hence the term "post-tensioning." Benefits of Post-Tensioning: Increased Strength: Post-tensioning allows for longer spans and thinner slabs, which can reduce the amount of concrete and steel needed. Crack Control: The compressive force induced by post-tensioning helps to counteract tensile stresses, reducing the likelihood of cracks. Flexibility in Design: Post-tensioning allows for more innovative and efficient structural designs, including curved or complex shapes.
