Buildings

Post-Tensioning is a solution that may be integrated into different types of buildings, ranging from residential apartments to hotels. PT in buildings leads to greater design flexibility and requires less reinforcing steel than conventional methods to attain same levels of strength. Post-tensioned concrete drastically reduces floor-to-floor heights when compared to structural steel, therefore reducing facade, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and vertical transport system expenses- hence leading to significant savings. Integrally, post-tensioned buildings have superior structural integrity when compared to precast concrete structures, have better crack control, have an overall lower building mass, and have a faster floor construction cycles – all without sacrificing building aesthetics.
