Frequently asked questions

How much does Post-Tensioning cost?

The cost of post-tensioning depends on several factors, including the project's size, complexity, and location. We provide detailed cost estimates after a thorough assessment of your project requirements. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your project and receive a personalized quote.

What is Post-Tension?

Post-tensioning is an innovative technique used to strengthen and improve the durability of concrete structures. It involves the use of post-tensioning tendons —prestressing steel cables encased within plastic/galvanized ducts or sleeves. These tendons are carefully positioned within the formwork prior to pouring the concrete, allowing for optimal tensioning once the concrete has hardened.

How long can a PT slab last?

When properly designed, constructed, and maintained, post-tensioned concrete structures can have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years or more.

Why are PT slabs used?

PT slabs are an ideal choice for maximizing floor space while enhancing the durability of structures. Their design allows for greater spans between supports, which effectively increases the usable floor area in a building. This not only optimizes the layout but also contributes to the overall strength and longevity of the construction.
