Common Questions

What is post-tensioning?

Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete with high-strength steel tendons, which are pulled tight after the concrete has hardened. This process puts the concrete into compression, making it stronger and more crack-resistant. The technique allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and better structural performance.
