Post Tensioning
|
Post-tensioning (P.T.) steel strand
is installed in concrete structures in
mono-strand or multi-strand
applications.
Adding post-tensioning steel to concrete
structures greatly increases the
structure span. The P.T. strand is
installed in beams, girders, slabs prior
to the concrete pour. After the concrete
is poured and sufficiently cured, the
P.T. strands are then stressed, which is
followed by form removal. All of these
steps are sequenced and controlled by
engineering design requirements and
concrete strength at time of each step..
The P.T. is installed per approved
drawings.
Sowles Company is a member and certified
installer of the Post Tensioning
Institute -PTI.

bridges, arenas. |
