Have you ever considered how contemporary bridges maintain their strength, elegance, and resilience under substantial loads and environmental pressures? The answer lies in post-tensioning—a sophisticated construction technique wherein steel tendons are tensioned after the concrete has been cast. This method offers several key advantages:
- Enhanced load-bearing capacity
- Minimized cracking and structural deflection
- Facilitation of longer spans with reduced material usage
From elegant cable-stayed designs to massive highway overpasses, post-tensioning helps engineers push the boundaries of what’s possible.
LMK Post Tensioning system responds proactively to the trends of Int’l markets having successfully accomplished numerous projects involving all types of construction methods, from simply supported beams to slabs, cantilevers, incremental launching and segmental structures, demonstrating solid experience in the PT technology.
LMK Post Tensioning system has successfully passed many efficiency tests proving the quality and adequacy in line with Int’l specifications & standards such as EN – EAD – ETAG, AASHTO LRFD, F.I.B. (Federation Int’l du Beton) & PTI (Post Tensioning Institute), demonstrating the following advantages:
- Wide selection of compact anchorages with improved load distribution surfaces.
- Easy coupling with standard or enlarged steel or plastic sheaths (flat and round).
- Frontal grouting/connection arrangement.
- Light weight configuration, facilitating the handling and installation.
- Recesses of smaller dimensions.
- Lower losses and smaller tendons deviations contributing to the economy of the design & construction.
HiSCS can provide full engineering services and support, including preliminary and final designs, supply of materials, equipment/machinery, installation, training, supervision, stressing, grouting, planning and management services and customized solutions for all types of structures.
