Why Post Tensioning
We adopt bonded Post-Tension System. Post tensioned slab is widely used with the advantage over conventional RCC being its ability to span greater distances without using thick slabs and beams with reduced deflection and cracking. Post tensioning is associated with reduced Labour costs and time savings.
Advantages ofPost Tensioning
Material Saving
- Reduction in concrete structural element dimensions.
- Reduction in reinforcement quantities.
- Reduced dead load, reduced reinforcement and concrete in slabs, columns and foundations.
- Reduction in total building height.
Savings during construction
- Concrete pour cycle of 6-7 days.
- Reduction in the number of formwork/shuttering sets.
- Quick rotation of formwork sets.
- Earlier removal of formwork.
- Reduction in concrete, rebar & formwork.
- Reduction in manpower due to reduction in material.
Structural Performance
- Better water proofing & improved crack control.
- High deflection limitation due to concrete shrinkage and creep.
- Improvement of durability and concrete behavior.
- Increase in free space availability, greater flexibility in floor layouts and more architectural opportunities.
